Not sure what to say?

Grandma always had a testimony for her grandchildren. She always wanted to make sure we knew Jesus ,put Him first, and shared her knowledge of the Lord with us at every visit. Grandma will always hold a special place in my heart, and I cannot wait to see her again. I never was able to tell Grandma of my twins , and I wish I could ask her a million questions about her experience with raising twins. One day we will be able to exchange our experiences and looking forward to it. SO thankful for...

Roberta was my very dear friend from the first grade at Caldwell school in Chatham and I will miss our frequent phone "talks" we had from out here in CA. We both love the Lord and I know we will meet again some day. My deepest sympathy to all of her family. She was a wonderful Christain lady and will be missed so very much.

Gosh, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of Roberta. I didn't know her well but my memories of her were always good. I remember her coming by at times when I would visit Uncle Jim & Aunt Marie, her Mom & Dad, when I was a kid. And at one of the last Otti reunions we had back in the early 80's. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

May you call CQ so that someday we might hear you, and talk again.

What a glorious song there was bursting through the clouds as your mother passed over to Heaven. There was't an angel that did not sing. The pain is no longer your mother's. The only pain left is the sweet sorrow the family feels in their hearts. Though you know she is with Jesus it is very hard to let go. May you know that I will be praying for you that Jesus will wrap you in His arms and comfort you and give you abundant peace now and in the many months to come.

Pam and Family:

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I know she had a special daughter in you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I wanted to offer my condolences to the family. Your mother was a beautiful lady.

Dear Cousins,
I just want to say what an honor it was to have Roberta for an Aunt. She was truly a gift from God. I am so very thankful for what she taught me about the Lord. How she loved me thru thick and thin, and never let go of my hand. She was like a second mother to me. We had such great times together. I know she is thrilled to be with Jesus and my Mom. What James said in the guest book--- I give a hearty "Amen"
May the Lord bless you and keep you!
Much love!

Sherry, Rowena, Pam, and Paula,

Your Mom always made me feel like one of her kids. She knew how bad I hurt when my Mom died and stepped in for me. Her love was Christ-like - unwaivering, even when I didn't deserve it. It was a rare, precious love that I will miss till I see her again. Thank you for sharing her with me.
