Condolences to you & your family. Your mom was such a good friend to our mother, Dorothy Buffaloe, when they lived at Woods at Bevenue. Our mom died in April- she & Mavis are getting reacquainted in Heaven! Please know what a special, loving person your mom was. May God be with you in this difficult time.

Amy and Judy,
Wiley and I are so sorry about Mavis' passing.
She was such a loving and giving person. One of our special role models in Second Presbyterian.
We never had the privilege of knowing your father but heard so many loving things about him...we are so glad they are united again.
Much love and prayers...

Judy and Amy,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. She is home now and I'm sure in rare form! So many years have passed since we were enjoying 2nd church and so many good memories of our parents flood my mind as I think about the ones who have completed their journey. I pray you will call on all of the good memories and that God will comfort you as you move forward. Praying for you.

Amy and Judy,

I just wanted to extend my condolences on the passing of your mother. Much time has passed since our days at the 2nd church but I will always remember your parents because of their kindness and friendship. Your mother and father are now reunited together, never to part again.

May God's Grace be with you in the coming days as we remember the kindly life of your mother.
