    I am so sorry for your loss. Betty was such a lovely, warm, caring person. She always had a smile on her face and a warm welcome for me. I know she will be missed, but knowing that she is in the arms of a loving God gives peace. Love to all of you, Nancy

    Dear Jerry-
    I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. She was a wonderful woman, such a strong woman of faith. And always so good to everyone she came into contact with.

    I lost my mom 18 years ago, and my dad 8 years ago. It has been such a source of comfort that I know they are in heaven…….together, and with the God they served so faithfully. We have both been so very blest by having such wonderful parents.

    I know that in time, this will bring you comfort as well.

    Sending love and prayers,

    Cheri
