Not sure what to say?

Felicia and Family,

I know this is a little late but I just heard about your Grandma (Mom, Aunt, etc). I am so sorry for your loss. I still remember when she was exhausted one afternoon and said that she was "running around all morning" :) and will always remember the joy she brought with her! May God's peace and blessings be upon you all.

Sandy and Pam I am sorry about your mom and I am sorry I just saw it posted or I would of come by. I always admired and appreciated your parents. Even as a young person I remembered their Love for our Lord and their desire to always do what was right. Especially Ruth had a great sense of humor, but often times with sound directions. All I can add though this time is to focus on the reunion one day for eternity.
God Bless In Him
