Dear Jenni and Terri, my sympathy is added to that of so many friends. I know it is a pain almost beyond comprehension. We know that she is no longer suffering and is at peace in the love of our Lord. I feel so blessed that some of us were able during the past year to renew our high school friendship and to share memories and laughter. During December, Bette and I enjoyed a special time of Christian sharing and love. I shall always cherish and remember those precious minutes. You all will remain in my prayers. I know the Lord will give you strength and comfort. My love always.

June 2, 2010

Jenni and Terri, I am sorry about your loss. Mothers are special and it is very hard to deal with the death of them. There is always something that reminds one of them, maybe a note a picture a favorite song...just little things, so many memories and it doesn`t help any to say well she is better off. Only GOD and time help. Thinking of you as your dad is my favorite singer/writer. May you feel GOD`s presence as you adjust of her not being there.
