Momma, HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAYY!!! Momma, I love you so very much and miss you too. It seem like only yesterday you hugged me and said "give momma a kiss" and I would hug you and give you a kiss. Momma, I know you are helping God watch over me because you are "my angel and my little girlfriend". Momma, give all our love one there (Christine, Uncle Bob, Dad, etc.....) a big hug and kiss from all of us here. Love you momma from Deborah Ann.

I extend my Deepest sympathy in the passing of Aunt Virginia
May your hearts be comforted with these words
He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness" Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
2 Corinthians 12:9
Miss Me
Miss me, but let me go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free
Miss me a little - but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me - but let me go
For this is a journey that we must all take
And each must go alone
It's all a part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home
When you are lonely, and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me - but let me go
