Bill and Susie I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Jane and Mom were such good friends. They are probably already playing a round of golf together with their ladies league!! Thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
ReplyMy sincere sympathy to all of you. May she rest in God’s Presence.
ReplyBill, Darlene, Susie and Roger,
Carol texted me and told me your mom was in the hospital, I’m so sorry that she didn’t make it back home. It’s so hard to loose a parent. Your mom was such a fun person to be around and I know you will miss her greatly. I pray that you will all be comforted by The Lord and by your wonderful memories of a wonderful woman and mom.
ReplyOur sympathy to all the family. May memories of years gone by bring comfort in the coming years. Ken and Sherri

I know we haven’t stayed in touch in years but I will never forget all the big family get togethers when all your Mom’s and my grandma’s brothers and sisters were alive. Oh the memories! You have our deepest sympathies. I pray God will give you all the strength to get through this time of grief. If you are ever in Sesser stop in at the Brewed on Broadway coffee shop and we’ll visit.
