My thoughts and prayers are with the Orvin family. Your family and my grandmother (Theodoshia Burroughs) were members of Free Will Baptist Church years ago. I've experienced the pain of losing my mother in 2004 and know what a difficult time this is for the family right now. May God grant you peace in knowing that you will see your loved one again in Heaven and may His abiding love sustain you in the days and months ahead. Joan Farmer Finnell - Lilburn, Ga.

Ruth and family, may it comfort you to know that others share in the loss of your mother. It has been a long time since I replaced you at Western Electric when you married Russell and moved to Miami.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Jeannie,
When I realized this was your Mom just wanted to send this note and let you know I'm sorry for your loss. Haven't seen you in a long while...sorry we haven't stayed in touch. It's hard to let go of our Moms even though we know they're in a better place. Will lift you and your family up in prayer.
