Robin, Tony & Eric,
I am sorry for your loss, your mom loved you all very much, but I am at peace that her long suffering is over. We didn't talk often, but we picked up where we left off. I knew she loved me, and I loved it when she called me "little girl"!
Love to you all,
Judy

To Robin and all of her family,

Although I know how much you will miss your mom, our Faith lets us know and believe that we will all be reunited one day. Until then, may your mother and all the family that has gone before her, rest in the arms of the angels. With all of my love and sympathy.

Robin, Tony, Eric & Families...

I was sadden to hear of your Mom's passing. She suffered a long time and now she is no longer in pain or suffering. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Your Mom was a Dear Friend of mine for many years. We became friends in Junior High and remained friends all these years. I just wish I would have stayed in touch more thru the years...as time went by too quickly.

Please except Our Deepest & Sincerest Sympathy. May God Bless you All and help you thru this sadden time in your lives.

Love,
Aunt Sandy & Uncle Sonny
