Chuck & Patty,
You have my heartfelt sympathy in the passing of your mother & mother-in-law. I will always remember Ms Emma walking in Friendship to take her seat.
She was a loving person.

Tim and family,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother; she passed away 2 days after mine. All of the times at work that you and I would discuss our moms and their health, well they have probably met in heaven and are now discussing us!! We can take comfort in the fact that there are no more worries about them, God is taking care of them now and they are in perfect health.

We were saddened by the loss of our dear Soror Emma Davis. We are praying for your family as we grieve along with you. Soror Emma was a quiet spirit but shared her love and talents with those she came in contact with. I know the pain of losing a dear mother. Our dear sister is now resting in the bosom of the Lord. We will miss her and cherish her memories. Trust in God and he will see you all through.
