Diane, so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I'm thinking about all of you today. I feel so bad I couldn't make it to the funeral. Gary had a procedure yesterday and I don't want to leave him. I love you and will be praying for you.

Diane, so sorry to hear about your mom. She was the sweetest lady. When I sat by her at bingo she always offered candy or whatever she had. She will be missed.

My sincere condolences. Find comfort in the God who is close to the brokenhearted.

Mark and Harriet
Offering our deepest sympathy during this difficult time.
