    Dear Family
    I’m sorry for your loss and I pray for your comfort. Please keep in mind that our Heavenly Father and God promises he will resurrect those who are sleeping in death. ( John 5:28,29) This means they will come back to life and we will see them again.

    Until that day comes, look to Jehovah God for comfort ( 2 Corinthians 1:3,4) He will never fail you.

    —- Farewell Dear Mother —-
    Somewhere in my heart beneath all my grief and pain, Is a smile I still wear at the sound of your dear name.
    The precious word is ‘MOTHER’, she was my world you see, But now my heart is breaking cause she’s no longer here with me. God chose her for His angel to watch me from above, To guide me and advise me and know that I’m still loved. The day she had to leave me when her life on earth was through, God had better plans for her, for this, I surely knew. When I think of her kind heart and all those loving years, My memories surround me and I can’t hold back the tears. She truly was a friend, someone I could confide in, She always had advice to give and then a gentle grin. I want to thank you Mother for teaching me so well, And though the time has come that I must bid you this farewell. I’ll remember all you’ve taught me and make you proud you’ll see. Thank you my Dear Mother, for all the love and strength you showed me. Although you’ve left this earth and now you’ve taken flight, I know that you are here with me each morning, noon and night. If roses grow in heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Mother’s arms and tell her they’re from me. Tell her I love her and miss her dearly, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her close for me. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, but there’s an ache within my heart that will never go away! I LOVE YOU MOM AND MISS YOU DEARLY!! ~ Yours truly, Peggy

    Nancy and family,
    I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful lady, always so thoughtful and kind. She was a thoughtful sister-in-law and will be missed by many. I have so many fond memories of David and Carol growing up as the youngest of the siblings. She will be in our hearts and memories always. I just found out about her passing and so I did not know about the gathering on Dec. 1 and missed it.

    The things I remember most about Aunt Carol are how she was always happy, smiling, and how she made me feel so loved. Plus the water fights and food fights with her husband and siblings, they were epic! Life was always better when Aunt Carol was around. Sending lots of love and prayers for peace and comfort to all the family.
