To my Great Aunt Estelle's family,
I will miss being there to say my goodbyes to a lovely and sweet lady. She was such a delightful person and the memories of her will always be with me and may you take comfort in the wonderful memories you have of her and that she is in the hands of our Lord and Saviour. I recall the time that my grandmother, Betsy Webb Guilliams, used her pressure cooker to cook chicken and the top blew off and there was chicken everywhere, even on the ceiling. She had to call Aunt Estelle to come help her clean it up as she lived right down the road from Grandma. There are loads of stories that I could relay as I am sure you can as well. Here's a hug for each of you. I regret that I have to work and am not able to attend the service(s).
Love,
Linda Hunley

To my dear family of Aunt Estelle,
Although I am unable to be there to share your sadness and celebrate my very special aunt's life, I want you all to know that I will be with you in spirit and that my love and prayers as well as Paul, Eric, and Katy's are with you all. Although we know she is now finding peace and joy in her heavenly home and kicking up her heels with Uncle Roy, we can still miss her presence in our lives here on earth. Embrace each other and know that all of our love is surrounding you. God Bless you all and love you lots!!!

To the Akers family,
May you draw comfort in knowing Granny Akers is not suffering and is in a better place. As each of you have been blessed with her love so has she been blessed with the love each of you showed her.
Paula,
I hope you find comfort in knowing you really did do all you could to make her comfortable and feel loved.
Keeping each of you in my prayers.
