Cindy and family:
I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s death. She was such a sweet lady. I have very fond memories of her teaching Sunday School in the room with bunny eared chairs. 🙂 I hope that you will find peace and comfort in your memories.

Our prayers to all of you.

Cindy,
Where do I begin? Your mom was a wonderful lady who I enjoyed talking to so much. She was very interesting. We always talked too long, but that’s OK. She grew up with Jerry’s Aunt Aileen and they had some wonderful times together. I remember how faithful she was to the Sunday School Class she taught. She got the biggest kick out of Kregg trying to learn the books of the Bible. He would say, Gen,Exodus,Leviticus,Numbers, Deutoronimo! (Cindy, you were also very faithful to your class!) Let your good memories warm your heart and keep you company. You have been a very good, caring daughter and. of course, you had a good, caring mother. God bless you, Cindy, and we are here, always. I love you now and always have and I miss you!
O’Neala was a good friend and employee at Terry Enterprises.

Cindy, words cannot express the loss of a mother. We pray that God will give you strength as you have lost a very special and precious person in your life. I just lost my dad Jan. 4, 2004 and we cling to the hope of seeing him and all of our loved ones in
HEAVEN one day.
Cindy, we are so sorry we did not know about Oneala’s illness and subsequent death. We only found out yesterday when we met the Craytons at another funeral.Please let us know if we can assist you in any way and that our love and prayers are with you. We will be in touch with you. Kathleen & Everett
