May God be with you all during these difficult times. She is in a much better place, now. We are all thinking of you.
Love, Greg, Nicki (Craig), Kim, Lauren and Taylor Wiggins
I am so sorry to learn that a great friend has left us . There will always be a special place in my heart for her as well as her husband, A.L. Rex and Jim, my thoughts and prayers will be with you …. you are like brothers to me and the years that I worked for you and your Dad are so precious to me. God Bless each and everyone of you.
Rex, Jim, and Sonia, I was distressed to read about your Mother in today’s paper. Regardless of age, health, or any other circumstance in life we are never ready to give up our loved ones, particularly a Mother. The only possible comfort comes from a real Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. Please know we are thinking of you at this time and will hold you in our prayers.
Rex,Jim and family- I am so sorry about the loss of your mother.She was a very dear person-she will always hold a special place in my heart as ‘MOM’- we had a lot of fun and good times -we shared a lot of special moments that will not be forgotten. She was never too tired to go shopping,to flea markets or out to eat with me.Marie loved God and her church- and I know she is happy to be home with a perfect body and mind-and I know I will see her again one day. She is gone but not forgotten.My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.Gloria Graham Daves
