Billy, Jimmy, John, Laura and Barbie: I was deeply saddened to hear about your loving mother. It has been years since I have seen her but always remember her birthday when I look at my calendar. Belfry was a very special place to grow up, so many great kids and wonderful memories. Your Mother was a shining star, a loving mother, a very funny lady and a special person. Her laughter and joy will be with you forever. Bless you all, you are in our prayers and thoughts. Paula Buddington (formerly Stitzer and mother of Arthur, Ashley and Bucky)

Dear Mr. Lombard,
Tom and I are so very sorry. We both loved Mrs. Lombard. Mimi made everyone in her life feel as if they were #1. I will never forget when she would drive her little red car up our driveway in Blue Bell. Mimi would honk her horn, and come out of her car with the widest and most beautiful smile. We will miss her dearly!!!
With Love,
Jennifer and Tom

Dear Jack and family,

I am heartbroken too. Barbara was someone who made such an impact on your life as she did on mine. She could always find the best in others, take the time to reach out and help without a thought of praise ... who lived with an inspiring Christian faith and left the world a better place simply by being a part of it.

With deepest sympathy,

The Herb Taus family

Barbara, my cousin. Always smiling, always bubbly and upbeat. Always praising her children and grandchildren. Always happy to see you and genuinely interested in you. With her red hair and freckles -- a little lady with a heart of gold. May she find peace and comfort with our Lord, her parents, and sister. The love and joy she brought to her family and friends will be felt always.
My sympathy, thoughts, and prayers are with all the Lombards and Mallons. May God bless you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you over the next few days and always!

Dear John & Donna: I am so truly sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. I only met her the one time at the spin for the cure, but her kindness, spirit and positive energy were so evident. Having lost my mother not so long ago I share all the feelings and emotions you are experiencing now. I can only tell you that her love and guidance will continue to be with you always. Be open to the subtle feelings and signs that are around you, and know that she is there with you. I love you both so much.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

We miss you so much Mom. Glad you are at peace, watch over us.
