May the God of all comfort give you what you need now, and fortify you for the days ahead.
Carola and family, my sympathy to you and your families at the passing of your mother. I have fond memories of your family in our East Ottawa neighborhood when we were growing up.
We need to touch base as I see your grandmother, Edith, was a Fryman and so was my Mother so curious about that.
Again, thinking about you and your family during this difficult time.
Darla and family,
We are so sorry for the loss of your mother. We are praying for your family.
I have fond memories of the time I spent at Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Skip’s when I was growing up. Since I lived on the farm and she in town she always welcomed me following my after-school activities and she often fed me dinner as well. She was also my Girl Scout leader.
