Dear Linda and Larry,
Through our friendship with your brother John, we were blessed with meeting and growing to love Mrs Smith and you. Mrs. Smith was such a sweet, special person and will be truly missed.
Love and prayers,
Wendell and Susan

Dear Linda.
I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. My mother, Helen lived at Manor Care for a while and ate at your mother's table. The family got to know and appreciate her spunk, faith and cheery outlook though her disabilites were great. You need to know she spoke of you often and was very proud of you and your husband. She was more concerned about your health than of her own.
Blessings to you and the rest of your family at this sad time.

Dear Linda,
Your mother was such a wonderful lady!! I met her over twentyfive years ago. When I worked for Safeway Grocery Stores at Staples Mill and Glenside Drive. It was truly a pleasure to see her each and evey time. We struck up a friendship that many people never get to experience. The last time I saw her was when I worked at the credit union. I know how much she loved her family and the pride that she felt about you!
With my love,
Delma Comer Luck
From Your Angel In Heaven
I see tears fall down your face
When your thoughts have turned to me.
Just know that I’m in heaven,
With my Lord, who’s set me free.
No pain or sadness do I feel,
For God is by my side.
The beauty here in Heaven
Is now where I reside.
I know it’s hard for you to cope
For you can’t feel my touch.
But every moment, I can see
And love you very much.
When you are at your lowest
And feel you can’t go on,
Look towards the heavens
The light will be turned on.
Talk to me, just like you did
On earth when I was there.
You see, I’m not so far away …
Only as far as a prayer.
And when it’s time for you to join
Me up in Heaven above.
It’s then that you will realize,
The Golden Place of love.
For here there is no sadness,
Just everlasting light.
Someday we will be joined again,
When it’s time to take your flight.
