Debbie, I was saddened to hear of your Mother's Passing. We are blessed to have our parents in our lives as long as we have, but it is always hard to give them up. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Dear Carla, Debbie, and family, I am very sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I remember her as a beautiful lady. We were all friends and backdoor neighbors in Waterman. Your Dad was a big help to my Mom when us kids moved away. Our Mom, Pat, passed away 3 years ago today. I feel your pain and loss. Life is very different without Mom. Best wishes to you for peace and comfort. In Sympathy, Marilyn
