Leroy,Ann and Barbara,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear mother. I have very fond memories of your mother. She was always so good about being involved in the community as a 4-H leader or helping with schools activities. She was a kind and gentle lady and I will always have fond memories of her. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. RoseAnne Walker

Reading about your loss is saddening. My wife and I send our condolences to family and friends. We are encouraged to read Ps.55:22. It says that Jehovah God helps us at these times. May you look to him with your burdens and concerns.
