We are so very sorry for the loss of your mother. Your parents were wonderful neighbors and we so enjoyed seeing them in the yard and chatting. Their presence has been missed. Your mother was a blessing to know and a delight. Please let us know if there is anything at all we can do for your family.

Dear Connie,
I am so sorry to learn about the loss of your Mom. I have fond memories growing up two houses down from your family. I remember your Mom's sweet smile and her gentle spirit. She was so proud of her girls. May you find comfort in knowing others care and are praying for you and your sweet family.

Connie, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a lovely lady. I remember the first day you came to Highland Springs Elementary and your parents brought you into the room. Please extend my sympathy to Lee, your sister Sherry and their families. May your memories help you through this sad time. Dale Newcomb Ballowe
