Not sure what to say?





I can't believe it's been 10 years since I had to say good-bye to my dear friend Helen. I miss her and all the wonderful times we had. Both she and your dad were dear friends and it gives me pleasure to know they are living in a beautiful Home with family, friends and even ancestors they didn't know on this planet! I'm thinking of you too and hoping you and your children are all well. May the Lord bless you all richly with the faith your parents had and the assurance of seeing them again. Thinking of you and sending a hug,
Linda Marotto (John 3:16)

Your Mom blessed my life with her help, her prayers, her optimism and her humor for almost 30 years. She knew how to reach out in love and be an encouragement to others. I'll treasure our friendship, until we meet again on those golden shores and behold our Savior face to face. I'm sharing your sorrow and loss, but also looking forward with confidence to that wonderful Day. Sending a hug to all, Linda Marotto
