Dear Gail, Skip and Doug,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in the lost of your mother. She was such a lovely person and will be truly missed. Maplewood was such a wonderful place to grow up and we share so many of the same memories, especially when it comes to our moms! Rest assured that she is safe in the arms of Jesus. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

Gail, Skip and Doug, No words can express how sorry I am about your mother. We grew up side-by-side together on Maplewood and your mother along with all the other mothers on the block helped raise up. I shall miss her smiling face and her sweeping that porch...(smile)...If there is anything I can do please let me know..You are in my prayers and I hope you are comforted with the thought that she is in a better place and you will see her again.. Take care of Mr. Fred.....Love ya'll.
