Donna, Darrell, my thoughts go way back to when you were children and we lived next door to you, your family and grandparents. We loved your family and I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She will be missed.

So sorry for your loss. I have known your family since Dad & Mom (Tommy and Joan Blankenship) brought me to church at the age of 5 days old. Your family has always been our family, and you will be in our thoughts and prayers, now and in the many rough days to come. She is finally with the loved ones she has missed for so long, with no more pain or sorrow. Elizabeth will be missed dearly.

My deepest and sincere sympathies go out to you on the loss of your mother.
No loss is greater, just like no love is greater. Remember how much she loved you and all the memories you have. God will bring you through this.
