Neoma,



I was so fortunate to meet your son Don and when we married, you welcomed me (and Chris)into your family and into your heart. Our sons, Chris and Donny, will forever remember their wonderful times with their Grandma. We love you and miss you and we know our lives will never be the same. We know you have found peace in eternal life with your Lord and our hope is to be reunited someday.

TOMI,

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. KNOWING THEY ARE IN A BETTER PLACE DOES NOT STOP US FROM WISHING THEY WERE STILL WITH US. MAY THE LORD BE WITH YOU THRU ALL OF THIS.
