Ray,
It seems like yesterday I was getting corn from your mother. Time goes by so fast.
Please accept my sympathy at the passing of your mother. It has been a month since my mom passed away so I can relate to what you are going through. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you and your family.
Donna and Sam, we are all thinking about you every day and sending you our love and support. Our thought will continue to be with you through out this sad time. We love you. Mari
Donna, your family is in my prayers.
With sincere sympathy..
Thanks Willie Mae for sharing your love and friendship with my Mom. Even though I did not see you much as an adult, I have always remembered your visits to our home when you brought Sammy and he and I played together. And, we have shared someone close to us both, Jean, your kid sister and my dear friend. You will be missed by all.
God Bless,
Blanche Eller
