Mom, a year has passed and every day I see you. In our kids, in my fiery temper when a stranger is wronged, in the simpleness of just listening and watching the wind in the trees. Thank you for being you and all that you are to me/us. You are greatly missed.
Love Christie

Mom, it has been 1 year, Christmas Eve, that I held your hand trying to accept that you were on a new journey. I was blessed to be with you when, I know, you were being greated by loved ones passed and soon would see God's face. I miss your presence very much. My love, Brenda

It has been 1 year ago on Christmas Eve that I held your hand trying to comprehend that you were on a new journey. I was blessed to be able to be there with you when you would be greeted by your loved ones passed and see God's face. I miss your presence very much. I know you are at rest and content. Love Bren

To Dorothy, My Forever Friend Christie's Mom, I asked Jesus to tell you thank you for your support when I was a frightened 17 year old expecting mom. Now, that child is my 25 year old daughter who is a missionary to China...thank you with all my heart!

Dot, I don't recall meeting you but the one time. That was just before your seven day trip from Virginia to California. I did, however, remember you. Your family could not have used a better picture of you on the Guest Book. You will always be remembered.

A very difficult time for all of us. Knowing what you went through was not easy. But, when I remember all the times we shared, I smile and know you are smiling down at us.

Remembering my dear pal and lifelong friend since 1941. You were like a sister to me and I was blessed to be your sister-in-law. You're no longer here for us to talk to but I know you are watching over us all. Love you kid. Alice (Alice Ferguson Adams)
