Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss ,i did not know your Mother but what a great tribute to her.Heavens got a whole lot brighter with your -Mother there.
My Mom is also there.
God bless you.
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
We often speak your name.
Now all we have are memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,

Ross,
You have written a loving tribute to your wonderful mother. What a wonderful life she led. I wish we had known her. We know what you are experiencing and you and your entire family will remain in our thoughts and prayers.

Mary Clayton's Family, Mary Clayton's Mother was a first cousin of my Mother Zuna Houston Wakefield, daughter of Georgianna Brown Houston. She was 2 years behind me at MCHS. I sent the obit from the Lewisburg paper to John Hakola and he asked me for your addresses for his Brown Family records. His email address is [email protected] and he will circulate the info to relatives. We are never ready to lose our loved ones and we hold you in our thoughts and prayers. Zunita

What a loving tribute to a remarkable woman. My first thought on reading it was that I wished I had known here.

I did not know Mrs. Young, but found fascinating the story of her life put into words here. Please keep her alive in the hearts of her loved ones by sharing her life story. She seemed like such a wonderful YOUNG woman. May God bring each of you peace in your loss. Not only did she seem to be an amazing woman, but sounded as if she was an awesome mother. You are in my thoughts, heart and prayers at this time.

I did not know Mary Young, but a friend pointed the obituary out to me, and I was so touched by the life she lived and the legacy she is clearly leaving behind!!! I'm sorry for your loss, but it sounds like you already know how blessed you are to have such an amazing mother!!!

Ross,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. I know you will miss her. She had a very full life, and passed that desire on to you. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
