Dear Chip,Sallie and Family,
We are so sorry about Maggie. I know she will be missed by many and I feel that I was truly blessed to meet you mom and to know her. Letting you know you are in our prayers. Will be in touch soon.
Take with you words, strong words of courage;
Words that have wings!…
Take with you holy words, words that know God;
Words that are sacred as healing waters,
Pure as light,and beautiful as mornings,
Take with you tall words, words that reach up,
And growing words, with deep life within them.
Take with you holy words, words that know God.
In his will is our peace.
Dearest Sallie,
The fond memories of sitting on your moms porch in McMechen and talking and sharing fond moments…her wondering what we were up to as we waved bye from the car….her watching you proudly in all your school, church and professional moments….her love for life and wanting nothing but the best for you and Jane…that is the mom Goose that I will remember. My deepest thoughts are with you and my sincere love always is there. She is dancing with the angels now.
All my love,
Ana Marie Roesch Morrow
Sallie & Chip
