Mike, I'm sorry to hear about your Mom & Dad. I couldn't come to the funeral because I have not been in the best of health myself. My legs have almost completely given out on me. I cannot walk very far at a time. I have been praying for you and your family. I will always remember the times we shared camping with them. Take care .

Mike, Lynn, & Family,

There is nothing that takes the place of a mother on this earth. I am sure you will miss her so very much. I know how much you loved both parents and they loved you and appreciated the time you spent with them. Remember the Lord never gives us anything that we can not get through with HIS help!

With Prayers and Sympathy,

Mike, I'm so sorry to read about your parents. I remember them so well in ER Baptist Church growing up. That is such a blessing they can go together to their heavenly home. May you find comfort knowing they are together. Karen Johnson Anderson, one of the ER twins
