Condolences
You are in our thoughts so sorry for your loss. Ronnie and Debbie
Peace to all of your family. I know its been a struggle.
We will be thinking and praying for you. Aunt Margie was a wonderful person.
Deb - So sorry to hear about your Mom. We drove by the house the morning she passed and noticed all the cars and I thought that something was wrong and I said a prayer for your family then. It will be hard but simply remember the love and the memories and the time you spent with her and always hold a place in your heart for her. You will miss her but keep the faith that she is no longer in pain and she is rejoicing. God be with your family. Love - Dalene
