Debbie, Patrick call the other day to let me know about your Mom. I am so sorry to hear the news. I can relate to your feelings on this loss as I have lost my Dad and both my Father and MOther inlaw who were very close to me.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I remembered her from when I visited Aunt Verlon and Uncle James on Triple Hill in Macon on many occasions. She and your father were dear friends to them. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers in your time of grief.

Deb, I was deeply sadden to hear about the passing of your Mom. Although I only knew her for a short time period, I will always remember her kindness as she welcomed me when you and I visited her on my trips to FL. I will miss her kindness. I see/feel that kindness in both her daughters as well. Your Mom was a lovely lady and I hope it will bring comfort knowing that she has now gone to join your Dad again for eternity. May god bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Love and always your friend,
Pat

Dear Debbie & Harolynn, I am so sorry to hear about the death of your Mom. Please accept my deepest sympathy. She will be missed but the scriptures at John 5:28 & 29 where Jehovah God promises a resurrection and at Ps: 37: 11 & 29 the possibility of living forever on earth will comfort you during her temporary absence.

Harolynn and Debbie,
We send you our love and share your sorrow in the loss of Aunt Mattie Pearl. We loved her and have such sweet memories of the times that we shared. Although, she will not be with us physically, she will always be apart of our lives as we let her live on in our hearts and mines. Remembering the the good times has a way of making the days ahead a lot easier and can actually bring joy to our daily lives.
Again, to you both our hearts are heavy for you but know that we love you and will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
