Hi Pam,
So sorry to hear about your mom. What a sweetie she was. I can still remember her driving us to the Double J Market and putting on her lipstick, to look pretty to sit in the car, because we would go in the store to shop while she waited in the car for us. Fun times! Love the memories!
Love you much and thinking of you! Shari :)

Your mother was a treasure, of which there are too few of these days. So wonderful to have her example of love, kindness, and commitment to church and family. And the Lord blessed her and is blessing her and she blessed and is blessing Him now with her presence. I think she was welcomed with arms wide open, and a 'Jeanne, well done!' And you have the assurance of knowing that she is no longer in any discomfort, and is with your papa, which brings great comfort. Hope the love of the Father, friends and family will bring you comfort today, tomorrow and in the weeks ahead....sending love, prayers and blessings to you all.

Jami and Pam, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I just happened to look in the obituaries to look for someone else that just passed away and I saw your Moms. She was still as beautiful as back when we were kids. She was always the sweetest person and always made me feel at home when I stayed with you. I am very sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and your families. With love , Deb Ralston
