Dear family, We were so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. Please know you have our deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers. I know you all have many wonderful memories that will carry you thru these difficult days. I can believe that she has already been united with Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Fredia and Troy and I can almost hear them laughing as they gather around the Lord’s table. I will let that thought carry me through the difficult days of missing them all so terribly. Love and prayers
Kay and John
