David, Linda and family,
I always loved your mom and am saddened to hear of her passing. The last time I spoke to her was on my wedding day. I had not spoken to her in years and she didn't know it was my wedding day. I always took that as a sign of some sort and it made me happy. We were only able to talk for a minute and I wish I would have gotten her number that day. I am truly thankful for the blessing of her friendship in my younger years. I wish I could have been at the service...

I'm so sorry to hear about Aunt Virginia. She was always such a kind and caring person. She sent me the nicest note after Uncle Troy passed away. I will always remember how kind her words were. She was thanking me for sitting with Uncle Troy several times while he was in the hospital right before he passed away. I will miss hearing her talk about some of the family stories.
Love,
Paula

Linda - I just wanted to offer my deepest condolences on the loss of your Mom. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you struggle with the loss of your parents. I lost my Dad last year, believe me it is a struggle each day without them, but with the help of friends and family you will get through. God bless, Susan
