Lois,Cheryl and Tim,
You are all in my prayers as you are making the final details of your Moms service. She was a Great Lady. When my Mom was unable to drive your Mom got her to church also brought her soup and salads. My Mom thought a lot of your Mom. Now all the older ladies from Peoria First are all together again. What a time they are having catching up. I thank God for his promise that we will all meet again. As those wonderful ladies from my past now have Esther with them. Us on earth are saddened but God will comfort you through the sad times.

Lois,Cheryl and Tim,
I had been thinking about your Mom over the last few days, before I knew about her home going. Your Mom was such a sweet lady and always was a blessing to my mom, Marie. Our families shared a lot of great times together when we were a lot younger.

You have my deepest sympathy,and I pray the Lord's peace and comfort during these days.

My deepest sympathy and love to my dear cousin's family. I have many fond memories of growing up together. I so enjoyed seeing and visiting with Esther when she was in Md. a few years ago.
