Susan and James, My deepest sympathy. I remember the visits when your Mom and Dad would come down to visit and that they were the family extension from Mom's side. With my Mom being an only child, the cousins were extra special to her. I am sure she had the coffee ready and they both are knitting away together while catching up. We are never ready to cross this bridge in life. My prayer is that over time the memories and support of family and friends can help your hearts to heal.

Lillian, you will be missed so much words cannot cover it. Thank you for everything over the years. I left that area but never lost the fond memories from there. In one of our telephone conversations, you said that the people that have left this area keep fond memories of that area. I did not know you did not have my landline number handy, sorry for that, and the cell phone did not connect very well in the past two weeks. I would look for missed calls and not see any. I called this morning and learned you died two days before, so sorry to miss you.
I do not have your address handy so I shall send a letter to the funeral home address. Prayers and Blessings upon you and yours... thank you so much.
