Family, We have had the great privilege of living by your mom for 17 years. Not only was she a great neighbor but a wonderful example to all she came in contact with. We are blessed to have had the opportunity to talk with her as she took walks. She always had a kind word and a smile. May Gods grace be with you in the following days ahead knowing she is home at last. Sincerely Dave and Brenda

We understand how and what you are going through, she will be missed but now she is with her Lord, Joan shared with me that she told her how she was longing to go Home. Now she is and we can rejoice in that. Blessings to you all. Kathy
