Thinking of you all at this difficult time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. There are not enough words to comfort you, but remember the good times and keep them in your heart. Love to you and your family, Fran
Dear Debra & family, Thinking about you & praying for you. I know your mother was a wonderful person & her spirit will always be with you, Love Patricia
Our hearts and prayers are with you. Dorthy was mother #2 to me and a great friend and straight shooter with Gisela. We will miss her more than anyone will ever know, but we will also have fond memories of many good times. She was a great story teller, and I’m not sure ‘all’ really happened the way they were told. She had a heart warming and mischievious smile that always put you in a good mood. We ‘all’ better behave because ‘she’ will be watching.
Donna,
My prayers and thoughts are with you and all your family. I know that your Mother will be missed greatly, but I know that you know she is with Jesus and we who believe in Jesus, will see her again. I love you, and want you to know that I will continue to remember you and your family in my prayers.
