My prayers and sympathy go out to the entire family. You couldn't ask for better neighbors than Don and Dorothy. There was never a negative word or thought from either. She was the most caring , kind and gentle person you will ever meet. The concern and friendship she had for Skip during his illness will be with me forever. May she rest in peace with the love of her life Don.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise found in 1 Thessalonians 4 : 14 can bring you some comfort. Knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
