My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

Mr. Jones, Carlton, and Ellen,

I am sorry to hear of your loss. Being in your home as a child was a special part of my growing up years!

Mr. Jones, I am so glad you had 66 years with Mrs. Jones. That is quite a legacy! I know you will miss her deeply and my heart and prayers are with you.

Carlton and Ellen, I know how hard it is to lose a parent - having lost both of mine. I will be praying for you as you grieve her passing.

My email address is [email protected] if you feel up to getting in touch. I would love to hear from all of you.

Love and prayers, Diane Carr

Wellborn, Carlton, Ellen,
Mother and I were not able to attend the service this morning as we had hoped to do, but you all are close in our thoughts and prayers. Sara and your family have a special place in our precious memories from our lives in the neighborhood and beyond. Your wife and mother, such a gracious lady. May the Lord comfort you as only He can.

Mr. Jones, I was sad to hear the news about the passing of your dear wife of 66 years. She was a kind and gracious lady. Thank you (and Sara) for being such good friends to my parents and such good examples for me growing up at Highland Hills.
