Kathy and Family,
Your mother (Sis Virginia) had a great smile and great hugs. She will be sorely missed, but know she is now in the arms of our Jesus.
I will always remember our good times growing up at Sharon, and our Church family. Also, her fried chicken and you helping her cook it. :) Memories are special. Hold onto them.
Love you all, Debbie (Hall) Ash

Kathy, I didn't know you and your mom shared the same middle name. Hello Dare, I am sorry I couldn't be at the funeral, my heart was acting up that day. I was there in spirit and my prayers are with all the family. May God bless you and all the good times you guys had with your mother. She is loved by many.

Dear Knight family,
I knew your Mother from my visits with her roommate at SCLB Manor. She was a dear lady who bore her sufferings with grace. I will miss seeing her and her family members that visited with her. May God bless you in this time of loss with His peace and the Great Hope of Christians, union with Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Jimmy, you are a friend via Fred Deig and VW&S. (A long time ago, for sure.) We are so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing, but you must believe that she is free of suffering and tears now and waiting for you "On the Other Side!" May God grant you and your family comfort in your loss.

Dear family, What a 'home-going'! I am sure Sister Knight heard "Well done, thy good and faithful servant - enter into thy rest" at the very moment God received her unto Himself. We have loved her - and your entire family - for many years and share sweet memories of her with all of you. May the love of Christ and His peace surround you in this time of loss. She loved you all so very much.
In His love, Sister Pencie Jordan, Billy Jordan, Benita Heppner and Curtis Jordan
