Dan, Joan, Smokey, & Pepper:

Your mother was one of my Sheros, offing me and many others motherly advice, setting an example, and showing wit, charm, and love to all who knew her. I know that you will miss her, hope that her strength will extend to you, and pray that you find comfort in her transition from life to God's eternal rest. I thank God for allowing Miss Earline to touch my life.

The friendship of our mothers extended many years before we came along. Also, they were sisters in the United Order of Tent #181.
Offering my deepest sympathy to you in the transition of your dear mother. Remember, you are not alone during your hours of bereavement-many prayers have been offered.
Keep your heads lifted for she lived a GREAT LIFE!
