Wanda, my prayers are with you and your family during this time. Oma was such a wonderful woman and blessed to have so many love her.
Mary, Thank You So much for your Prayers. Thank You for being there for us and always being there for me. Love You!
Please accept our condolences upon hearing of the death of Dorothy Mae. She was such a sweet, kind lady and I can still see her cooking supper and holding my colicky baby, Liz, at the same time. She always seemed to get Liz settled down when no one else could. She loved children, especially hers, of course. I know there were times when her life was tough, but she loved unconditionally and worked very hard as long as she was able. I will always cherish her memory and the wonderful woman she was. May she rest in peace, and may God hold you all in the palms of his hands as you cope with the loss of your loved one.

Ron, Jerry, Brenda, Debbie, Wanda and families,
Elo just told me about your mom. I am so sorry to hear the news! Mom is in an assisted living facility now and I won’t be able to make the services tomorrow either but we wanted you to know that you were in our thoughts and prayers. May she rest in eternal peace now and may God wrap his loving arms around all of you and hold you close in this time of sorrow. Always remember all the good times you shared and let those memories bring you peace and comfort.
Sending lots of love and prayers.
Connie, thank you so much for the note! The plant you all sent is wonderful! Roger stopped by last night. I believe he said he found out either from you or Kay Ann.
I hope your Mom is doing okay and tell her hello.
