Dear Penny & Larry, I read of your Mom's passing on Sat. just at the time you were having her service, so I said a special prayer for you at that moment.
Your Mom was such a sweet lady and very loved by "NHC families" that included Martha Alexander and myself for 6 years. Your Mother always responded with such an unforgettable sweet smile and soft voice. You always brought a big ray of sunshine to everyone around, as you so faithfully came without fail to love on your precious Mother. Now, may you and Larry rest your self in the peace of knowing you were everything a daughter and son-in-law could ever be to such a dear Mother. May God Bless you with the Love and Joy of your family, as you rest in His Peace.
In His Love, Marilyn French
