May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Scott, Chris & Mary, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of sorrow. Having known all of you most of our lives, I could not have asked for a better family to be a part of. I wish you the peace you need to cope and know she is with her lord. I will always remember the days she made me wait on the front porch for Chris to come out-she was the best homemaker I ever knew-she had a plan for everything and carried it out. With her passing, she left this earth in peace for a long life lived well and according to plan. Love to all, Cindy

Such a very sweet lady! I can still see her "twinkling" eyes, and lovely smile. Much grace and kindness. I hope you will all be at peace knowing she is in a much better place, but always in your hearts! Thought and prayers are with you all. Love, Dawnn, Scott and Dakota
