Dear Jackie Lou, Wayne, and family....I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. When I was a kid....I spent more time at your house than at mine. I remember sleep overs and playing all day until supper time. I have so many good memories. Linda & I pray for comfort and peach for you all.

Dear Wayne and Jackie, we are very sorry for the loss of your Mother. It is sad to lose her on Christmas Day, my Dad died on Christmas Day.
I believe the last time I saw your Mom was at the funeral home for a visitation, she was one special lady, always doing for others. I know she loved you both fiercely and her grandsons ! She was always sweet and friendly but I’ll never forget the look on her face if she disagreed with you.
I will be sending a donation in her name and I will be praying for each of you and your families. I am grateful for all the memories of growing up with you and your Dad and Mom.
Love you both, Darlene & Ron
