Dear Lorraine and Family. I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I read about it in the RS newsletter. I have been out of town and will be when you have the viewing and funeral. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. I loved the verse you added about a mother holding her children's hands for just a little while but their hearts forever. How true it is. My love goes out to you all.

Dear Sweet Lee Family, I was sorry to hear of your mothers passing. She was a very sweet woman and I have enjoyed her over the years. As life takes us all in different directions, our great childhood memories keep us close. Like Mary, my sister, I certainly have very fond memories of us all growing up and being together at Grandpa and Grandma Lee's home. I love you all and wish I could be there for the funeral. May you all be comforted in this difficult time.
Love,
Linda Shaw & John Cummings

I am sorry about the passing of your mother. I always thought of her as a very special lady. I think she was named after my mother, Grace Howell Baugh who was her aunt. I am sorry that I will not be able to attend the services and hope that they will be a comfort to your family. Please accept my sympathy
Sincerely, Cherrill Baugh Nielsen
