Time goes on and so many changes it seems. We are getting closer to the day of our Lords coming. Think of you and mom often and the others that have gone to their rest. To those sleeping in the Lord, it will only seem like an instant when we all shall rise in Jesus. What a rejoicing that will be. Rest in peace until then and I love you always.

Hi Sis. I just wrote a note to mom. Today is her Birthday today. She is 92 today. Miss you both but i know you both are in a better place. This world is getting worse. The Lords soon coming can't be far off. Then we all will be together on Resurrection Day. Pastor Rester has been here giving a Creation/Evolution seminar and what a blessing it has been. I know you would have loved to have seen him again. You and mom rest in peace until our Lord comes. Love you both.

Dearest Atwell Family
We send our deepest sympathys to you and the family. We understand how hard it is to loose a parent. Our prayers are with your family and know that she is in a wonderful place that is free of pain, fear and in the arms of the family that went before her. Cancer can take many things from us but it can not take our memories, it can not take our pride in family nor can it take the love you share of your mother.

Thank you to everyone who attended the services. It has been a tough week. Mom would have been happy to see how many people came to see her, and expressed their love and admiration. We all lost a special woman.

For the family this is also helpful, since we are not mourning alone. The nice stories brought back fond memories of the past when mom was young and healthy.

May God bless all of you.

There are no words to express how sorry I am to hear of your loss; no words that can help ease the pain and sorrow. .... Nelson you and your entire family are in all of my thoughts and prayers during this sorrowful time.

Nelson & Greg, I'm sure you don't remember me but I knew you when you were little boys. We were your neighbors at Yorktown in Winchester. Your Mom & I reconnected several years ago through Facebook and had always planned to get together but just never did. She was a wonderful person and I loved every minute I ever spent with her. I recently lost my Mom, so I know how hard it is to say goodbye. Please find comfort knowing she is with the Lord and is no longer sick! I am praying for you both and for all your family. May God Bless you during this difficult time.
