Dear Angie and Family:

I am so sorry to have just learned of the loss of Momma Two! She was a very influential person in my life and I am Blessed to have been able to have her a part of all of my child and most of my adult hood! She is in Heaven now in Jesus' arms! I can see her now with John, Fr. Dee, Madge & Marvin Aids and my Dad. May God Bless you and your family!

Dear Angie & Family,
My co-working days with Mary at Kaiser were the best in all my career. Keevil & I last saw her at the Fairmont Restaurant on one of their meeting days. She still looked fit and great. It's been maybe a year and I had no idea she was under Hospice care. Wish I could have known and been able to tell her how much she meant to me. My heart aches with you Angie and I pray God's peace for you, and all the family.

Angie, I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many fun memories of my time with her. The childhood memories at Port Wentworth, and the fun trip to Biloxi with Dorothy, Bonnie, Gloria and how we all giggled for days. Toto was one of my favorites, I sure will miss her. Just knowing that she is now with her family again is very comforting to me. God bless all of you and will see you soon. Love, Ginny

Angie: I was so sorry to hear about Nan's passing. Nan and John were a big part of my childhood. I have such warm memories of
them as I was growing up, from the days of living in Port Wentworth
to the summers at Tybee Island. They were my God Parents and I was always so proud of that. I have comfort knowing that she is now
with John, my Dad and her parents......Tony Stephens

Angie,
I am so sorry to learn of your mother's passing. Both of your parents were good friends when I lived in Georgia and I have fond memories of those times so long ago.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mom my prayers are with you during this time she was a wonderful lady, although it has been many years I still think of her fondly when we were all members of Our Lady of Lourdes. I ask God to Send His angels to help you in this time of need.
