My deepest regrets in the parting of your beloved mother, aunt and friend. She is now present with her Holy Father; seated in heavenly places. No amount of words can take away your loss but God can comfort and heal during this time. A special hug to Deborah, who I recently met while working at Enterprise. May God richly bless this family and God loves you.

Dear Debbie and Lawrence
My heartfelt prayers are with you as I share in your pain with the loss of my father on the 3rd. We have the scriptures to find comfort in as we weather through this storm. The hope of the resurrection is my shield of strength as I know it is to you. I am sorry that I could not be there with you. You will always be in my prayers.

George & Yvonne,
It's always a surprise to see the notice about a familiar name. George, I don't imagine you're still in adhesives, at least not for long. We had some short but good conversations in the plant. Then to work with Yvonne in CEF was a pleasant surprise - small world! God always has the best for us if we take it; He'll be with you all through this also. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Pringle family. Mrs. Pringle was always a warm hearted generous person who treated us like her own kids. Every Christmas we looked forward to "Mrs. Pringle's cake." We will miss her but we know she is in a much better place and is at peace. May she rest in God's hands.

To My God Family The Pringles
You have lost a very good person in Mother Pringle. She accepted me in your home and treated me like a daughter as Debbie and I grew up and it was always a joy to see her during the East side Parade sitting on the corner smiling at everyone. She had a good heart and a loving spirit and now it is her turn to rest. This is a poem for "My Mother", Irene Pringle, I will always love you.:
Motherlove

Where does a Mother’s love go
when she is no longer there to give it?
Where does her warmth and kindness end up when she leaves the ground to
soar through the clouds on a rendezvous with God?
What happens to her strength
her passion, her elegance, her grace
when her body is planted in the ground
like a marigold in the spring?
What becomes of those she left behind
weak and still in need of nurturing
when she can no longer be there to nurture them?
Shattered pieces of them go with her.
Hearts shrivel and dry
from unrequited emotion.
Where does a Mother’s love go
when she can no longer be there to give it?
Perhaps she’ll tell me
when I see her on the other side.
Love Sandra and Ron Duckworth
