Corey: Sorry to hear about your Mom. Have some good memories of her in our younger years! May you find peace in knowing that she lived a good life and will have a place in heaven with all our loved ones, including my dad and my little girl.
Thinking of you. All of the Rexes are thinking of you!

Love,
Jane (Rex) Christman

I remember Mrs. Kreitz well. As a senior @ SHS, one of the art projects was to make a sign for a business. Since my Mom & I both went to Lucille's place for hair cuts, the sign I made for her was in her window for a few years.
I am sorry for your loss; however, just imagine how happy your Mother was when she saw Jesus, with his arms outstretched welcoming her home again.
We hope this poem will help to ease your grief.
"Life is but a stopping place
A pause in what's to be
A resting place along the road
To sweet eternity
We all have different journeys
Different paths along the way
We all were meant to learn somethings
But never meant to stay
Our destination is a place
Far greater than we know
For some the journey's quicker
For some the journey's slow
And when the journey finally ends
We’ll claim a great reward
And find an everlasting peace
Together with the Lord."
