  • What a little lady. We will miss seeing her out in her front yard puttering in her flower beds. I can’t help feeling that she is at home now with Cliff. He always honked and had a friendly wave if we were outside when they went by. I know that your faith will see you through the days ahead. God keep you in his loving care. Love, Jim and Jean

  • Jon and Nancy,

    So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. We lost our own Mom on Nov. 15, so know your feelings of grief even though it is a blessing for them to be out of their suffering. I saw your Mom a few months ago when I played the piano at Columbia Edgewater. We had such a nice visit. I am so glad now that I had that time to see her and talk over “old times.” I have very fond memories of your Mom and Dad and our old neighborhood. Be at peace – as your Mother is now.

    Love,

    Marsha
