I will miss seeing and speaking with your mother at Mountain View. She was so precious and always asked me about mom. It is comforting to know she is with the Father, but so sad for those left behind. My prayers are with you as your grieve the loss of your mother.

Your mother was a beautiful lady inside and out. She is one of my many favorite memories of Darlington Methodist Church. May God be with you and your families as you move on without your Mom. May the love she had for you and your wonderful memories always make you smile.
Love,
