WE LOVE AND WILL MISS YOU
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sharon and Delores, I have many many fond memories of your Mother. She made the best biscuits in town and it was always a treat to spend the night and wake up to that! She ‘toted’ us everywhere until we could finally drive and she was so much fun with her little comments and could she ever put her foot down. When she did, everybody listened!! Thinking of her life reminds me of how important an influence she was for me. I am thankful for this and want you and the rest of your family to know it. Please accept my thoughts and
gratitude as you celebrate her life and my condolences as you say good-by to your Mom. Judy
Your are in our thoughts and prayers. Melvin and Jean
