Pam & Buster,
I was very surprised to hear today of your mother passing. I worked with her at Community Development and she was always the friend and strength you needed for the day. She was such a kind and gentle lady. My memories of her will always be special. If I can help you in any way let me know.

I am so very sorry to hear about your mother passing. She was such a sweet, and kind lady. I remember one time in elementary school something had gone wrong for me and I was crying. Your Mom was there and gave me a big hug. I remember her wrapping her arms around me just as if I was her own. I don’t even remember what went wrong for me that day I just remember your Mom’s hug. You nor she knew that she had touch my life. But the love your mom showed to me, as a second grader, has been carried in my heart from that day to this one. I want you to know that that was some hug! And I know how much she meant to you. She was some special lady! I will be praying for you and your family.

May God keep your family strong at this time of bereavement. Nancy was a lovely person, and she will surely be missed. I worked with her briefly in the Community Development Department for the City of Macon, and she was indeed a pleasant person to work with.

Dear Joe,

One never knows the the right words to say in times like these. Althought I never met your Nancy, it was obvious in your emails and our conversations just how much you loved her. I could easily tell she was your soul mate. My heart breaks for you. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
May God be with you and give you strength and comfort.
