I am so sorry to hear about Lorena. She was so sweet and caring. I remember many times we spent the night with her and we always had such a good time. She was a very special cousin and we all loved her so very much. She will surely be missed by our family. May God be with you in your time of need and loss. He will see you through the sorrow and pain of losing a much beloved Mother. Love Movita
Marc, I wanted to let you, Coarl and the rest of your family know how sorry I am to hear of the passing of your mother. Though I never had the opportunity to meet her the love between you was apparent just from hearing you talk about her. She sounded like a great lady and she has been fortunate to have such a caring son. All of your friends and co-workers at the Inn have been asking about you. Jimmy K. has been keeping us informed. Many of us have considered calling but, did not want to intrude during such a difficult and trying time. We will keep you and all of your family in our thoughts and prayers. Please, bear in mind that if we can do anything at all we’re just a phone call away. Love and peace to you all.
May God bless you all with the passing of Lorena. Lorena was a very special person. One who my Mother loved very much. Geneva, I remember the sweetness of Lorena and all of her family. I wish for all of you Gods great love. May you be comforted in his arms.
Aunt Rene always welcomed me with open arms & warm biscuits !! She is now with our Lord and Uncle Bud. I know she is very happy but it will take us here, earth bound, some time to adjust. I will always treasure my many fond memories of staying with Aunt Rene and playing the organ !!
With much love……..
