My sympathy goes out to you and all your family. The pain you feel is never greater than in times like this. In all you do, remember to take one day at a time and on the really difficult days, take time to rejoice in the memories of the special times you shared with your mom.

Dear Marguerite, Sherri, and family, We are very sorry for your loss. Your mom was a very special person. Marie, Bud, Valerie, Ann and families.
You are all in my prayers as marti was from the first day i met her. Shaundra RN 5th floor Parkview Gyn. I would like to share a verse: Revelations 7:15-17
Therefor are they before the throne of god, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor the heat. For the lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of water:and god shall wipe all tears from thier eyes. God bless.
Marguerite, Sherri & Jennifer,
Words cannot express how deeply sorry we are for the loss of your mom. She was a very special woman and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. I hope that knowing that she is now in Heaven with Jon and God brings you at least a little bit of peace.
Love you all,
