When I was a child, Aunt Ruth told me that "fortified" cereal meant it would make you fart. She also said when you beat egg whites (with old fashioned hand mixer) to make a meringue, if you reverse the direction they would return to liquid. She also took me to my first drive in picture show. I just knew the Lord was going to come and I would be left behind. She nursed me through the mumps. She and I got to know each other in a new relationship when we worked together for Mother in the tax service. She was so very special to me. Lots of memories. I will love you forever!

Suzy, I am sorry I just found this out. Bo went into the hospital Aug 5 and stayed there 10 days, then in nursing home for 10 days, he had aspiration pneumonia. One week prior to hospital, they placed a feeding tube in his tummy. I thought about you and your mom, but never left his side.I am so sorry for your loss. I still miss my mom after 6 yrs, it is so hard. so sorry.

Please accept my condolences for your loss. Sometimes words aren't enough to get through the death of a loved one. That is why it is a must to draw comfort from each other as family and friends.- Colossians 3:14-says that love is perfect bond of union. May that bond comfort you during this distressing time.

My condolences to the Owens family. May you find much comfort in God's word at Matt. 5:4
