We are so sorry for your loss. Your mother was a great person and it was an honor to be her friend. Of course I've known her since I was a child. We wish we could be there with your family today. I know shes in a better place and not suffering anymore but she will missed by all.

We are with you in spirit on this day as you begin to lay your mom to rest. Think happy thoughts Tuesday about when you were growing up, you've shared some stories with me and they were hilarious. She wouldn't want you to grieve, she would rather you take a trip to the Mountaineer and play the slots one last time, just for her.
Remember, we're just an e-mail away, :)

Sue. Sorry to see that your Mom passed. I remember the day that I saw you and your Mom at Hillside and we had a chance to catch up. Pray that all goes well and know that I will be thinking of you. God Bless from Patty Holloway (Lemley)
