Our deepest sympathies to John (Wanda) and family.
Don't weep at my grave,
for I am not there,
I've a date with a
butterfly to dance in the air.
I'll be singing in the
sunshine, wild and free
playing tag with the wind
while I am waiting for thee.
You are in our thought's and prayers.

Liz .... When we lose someone we love, it seems that time stands still. God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around your mom and whispered "come to me." We are soo sorry about the lost of your mom.. I know you loved her so much. Please lean on your family and friends for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about... God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best....
Our deepest sympathies to Liz and her family
With all our loves Jimmy, Joanne, Debbie and the Nsdl
