I´m sorry for your loss. Your precious mother was such a wonderful friend to my mother (Laura Amos) for many years. She continued to correspond with our family following our mother´s death in 2015. She was so encouraging and such an inspiration to many of us. We are thankful for her friendship through the years.

I´m sorry we weren´t able to attend the service, but we didn´t hear about it until the day after. Bobbie and Don were both great friends through Wrightview Nazarene. My parents were involved in Bobbie´s Sunday school class and were close.
