Not sure what to say?

I still think of your mother nearly everyday because my dog Babe and I run/walk past her house on a daily basis. Last spring I planted a magnolia tree in my yard on the east side of my house in memory of her. She made the world a better place.

Dear Barb and Tom: We are saddened by the death of Barb's mother but know she is at rest and peace. We did not know her but have heard many wonderful stories about her through Barb. She was a very fortunate woman to have three daughters surrounding her with love and good care, especially during her later years right up to her death.

Dear Tom, Barb, and family,
Although you will miss your mom much, the Lord was merciful to answer her prayers, taking her home to be with Him and her loved ones gone before. Now, she is free from the pain and suffering of this old world, and you have the blessed assurance of that glorious reunion that awaits us all. We just know what a woman of faith she was and how she touched the lives of all her family forever. God bless and keep you.
Love in Jesus, John and Ruth (Gideon friends)

Prayers for your family!
