Dear Baggett family, May you have my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your loved one. I pray that the God of love will be with you to comfort you through these hard times. Every tear that is shed is very precious to God. He feels your pain and he knows what you're going through. One day he will eliminate all pain and sorrow, and death will be no more. Until then, may the God of peace be with you.

Dearest Kathy & Family, Thank you for the e-mail, but am so sorry that your Mother has passed. I know what it's like not to have a mother anymore, and it's one of the worst feelings anyone can have. I know how much you loved her and how much she loved you all. But she is in a better place now and with your Dad once again. I will miss her calm and easy going way. God Bless You All! Love, Debbie & Dave Whetsell, Lexington, SC]
