Marcia and family, I was so sorry to learn of the loss of your dear mother. May it comfort you to know others are remembering her and you in prayer.

Diane and Ken, I am so sorry for your loss. I have to apologize for not knowing about her passing until today. I guess we were too busy planting and not paying attention last week to the world around us. I feel bad about that. I am sorry. Hope you are finding faith to cope with your mothers passing.
