It will be the little things that you will remember: the quiet moments, the smiles, and the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.

With heartfelt sympathy for one who lovingly touched so many,

How saddened I was to hear of the loss of Mrs. Fields. For many years, she gave of her service in the First Baptist vineyard. I will always remember her pleasant smile and kind words to me. May it comfort you to know that she now sleeps in the loving arms of our Savior and that we shall see her once again. God bless you at this difficult time.
