I’m so sorry for your loss. I remember your mom with fondness from our time together at the Nazarene Church and also at K-Mart. May the Lord give you His peace during this difficult time.
Words cannot explain how I have loved this lady. She sat on the piano bench and me on the organ bench for a half century. We knew exactly what the other one was gonna do. We have done some beautiful cantatas, some beautiful choir music, and the two of us have sang at numerous funerals and weddings. I was lost when she became ill. She is singing and playing in the Heavenly choir today with her beautiful soprano voice!
Such fond memories of going to church with such a sweet lady May God be with each of you with His love ,peace and mercy and grace. We will see,her again love and my prayers to each of you mike williams
Sincerely sorry…she was a very beautiful person
Sorry for loss, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May God keep you in his hands in your time of need.
