Dear Debbie and family
Just caught this today and so sorry to hear that your mom has passed. My sincere condolences to you and your family. I’ve been thinking about you and Cherry lately and that we should try and get together in Jan, sometime.

Dear Darlene and family;
I just heard of your mother’s passing and am so sorry for your loss. I appreciated her kindness and acceptance of me during and after our time together. She was a great lady and I’m sure greatly missed by you and your sisters. Even though it was over three years ago I pray that God comforts and heals you as I know these events in our lives are never forgotten and come up before us to haunt us through the years. May you find peace and rest in God’s love, especially at this season. My prayers are with you.
