She will be missed..
So very sorry for your loss. Your mom was an amazing woman – a true lady in every sense of the word. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Pastor Rick and family,
Your Mom was such a great lady, and she and my Mom had many happy times together.
I am sorry for your loss, and I know you will miss her. No matter the circumstances, it’s still hard to say good-bye to a Mom.
Take care of each other. Prayers and hugs to you all.
Rick and Edith and family,
I am at Dad’s and just learned of your mom’s passing. I am so sorry to hear this. This whole year has been one we never could have imagined.
You will be in our prayers. Our deepest condolences.

Rick Edith and all the family I send my sincere condolences and sympathy over the loss of your beautiful mother. I was so glad that I got to meet and visit with her although it has been a while back, but we had such a wonderful visit and she was so sweet and happy to see me and my friend. She is now with the Lord. God be with you.
