Linda, Brenda and family, my deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers in the passing of your Mother. I met your Mom at Greenlawn when my Mom and I were at Greenlawn "visiting" my Dad, and your Mom was visiting your Dad. We found that we did know each other from our Dad's military service, we all went to school together and our Dads were at Ft. Jackson together as drill sergeants, and I am quite certain in duty together as the dates of service correspond. We had such great talks with your mom as my Mom was from Heilbronn Germany, and they enjoyed talking when we encountered at the same time. A wonderful, dear lady who loved you all so much! I'm so sorry to hear of her passing, and know you all miss her so much. Mom passed this January and it will be a difficult year. I send prayers and thoughts to all of you from our family to yours. I always stopped by your Dad's spot, as it is two away from my parents; and will now stop to visit your Mom as well. Our thoughts always for all of you.

Sending you and your family heartfelt prayers for God´s comfort. I grew up next door to Mr. & Mrs. Voss, and it was quite evident their love for each other and their love of gardening. May God give her soul eternal peace and a safe resting place with Him.
Sincere condolences,
Marianne Schulz
