Dear Covington Sons,
We at Southerland Place feel very blessed to have known your parents. Your mother and father's presence, along with the cute pups, are greatly missed. I hope you find comfort knowing they have touched so many lives in such positive ways. God bless you all.

So sorry to hear about your mother, especially coming so soon after your father's passing. Gwen and I (Carolyn) met in the 8th grade and were in each other's weddings, and were friends/neighbors for years as children, and after we married. I know you'll miss her...but please take comfort in knowing they're together now.

To my cousins... my heart continues to hurt for you and your families as you work through your sorrow. Don't ask why... just continue to share your memories with each other and your children so they will know how special your mom was. She always gave the best hugs! I will miss our visits with she and your dad at the Lake.

Tim, Mike, David, and Jeff ... please, accept Lindy, Evan and my deepest sympathy for the loss of both your folks in such a short time. That's gotta leave a huge whole, but I pray you and your wifes and kids will be able to encourage each other through the sadness and into a time of celebration for many of the 65 years she was a wife, mom, and grandmother. I remember the joy, smiles, and laughter your mom brought to my life growing up. I'll always remember her that way!
