I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She was Lois Scott´s, my mom, maid of honor in her wedding back in 1950. I was fortunate to meet your parents at my mom and dads 25th wedding anniversary party. We took a picture of the wedding party as it originally was.
We lost my mom in December at the age of 94. She would have been 95 on March 4th. It is very hard to lose our mothers but are truly blessed to have had them in our lives into the 90´s.
With deepest sympathy.

I´m a Peace family member. I was married to Calvin Marker before his passing in 2015. I knew your mom and dad well, lots of church activities together. My sympathies to all of you. My daughter Livi Slattery is now secretary at Peace, so if you need anything please feel comfortable in reaching out, she will help in any way possible. Gods blessings and strength as you navigate this life journey.
