To all of Cissy's family members,
I am so sorry for your loss. Each of you will have memories of her to keep with you forever. I pray for you during this sad time.

Ross,

I am very sorry to hear abut Cissy. My thoughts and prayers are with you. When we lost Will the one thing that kept us going was knowing he was in a better place with no worries. I remember a Bible verse that helped keep me grounded when I was down: "Be Still And Know That I am God." Remembering this simple verse often allowed me to stop and reflect on who is really in control. To this day this verse still gives me comfort. I thought I would share it with you hoping it would provide you comfort as well.

Mr. and Mrs. Ferris,

My deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your daughter, Gloria Ann. I was saddened to hear of her passing.

Gloria and my daughter, Virginia, were friends when they were young girls, and they loved spending time together. I remember Gloria being a happy girl and having a smile that would light up a room. She was always full of energy and spirit.

I pray that God's love will surround and embrace you and your family and you will feel His strength and peace.

With sympathy,

Donna Doss

My sincere sympathies to the Ferris and Perdue families.

I knew Gloria when I was a teenager living in Roanoke, and she was a friend of my younger sister, Virginia Smith. Gloria was sweet and always fun to be with. She was full of life and enthusiasm, and she always wore a beautiful smile. There was never a dull moment, and I remember Gloria very fondly.

May the peace that passeth all understanding be with you now and in the days ahead.

With sincere sympathy and prayers,

Donna Smith Doss
