Terry, I’m so sorry, please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I’m so sorry I won’t be able to attend services.

Joanne was such a lovely lady. She always greeted me with a smile and a grateful “Thank you” for delivering her meals. She always told me to be careful as I left. I will miss stopping weekly to see but will remember her each time I drive by.
Sending prayers for her and her family.

On behalf of my brothers and I please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. We know what you are probably going through but know that the pain will decrease and the memories will bring smiles back. I like to think of our parents spending moments together now as they marvel at what God has done and is doing. We’re the next ones in line – it behooves us to make sure we are ready. I am grateful for the memories that I have because of the friendship of our parents. Sorry we could not be there with you.
Sandy and family, Jim and I are so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Sending prayers to all you.
