So sorry for your loss Steve
Mary Honecker
June 8, 2019
Dear Steve, I'm sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Remember it is a 'see you later', not goodbye. My late husband said 'no one loves you like your Mama loves you', and it is true. God bless you and your family as you release her to the Lord until you meet again. With heartfelt sympathy, Mary Schelby Honecker
