Martha, so sorry! My Mom passed away the end of Sept. so I do know how you are hurting! She lived a long life that some never get! Just cherish all the good memories!!
I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know your Mom but I know she raised a wonderful daughter
Martha, I remember your mom and so sorry to hear this. Prayers for comfort.
I worked with Mavis at St. Joseph’s. She was always the sweetest. I took my then little boys to visit her at her home a couple of times. Glad to know she is reunited in heaven with the love of her life!
Mavis was always a kind and supportive aunt to our family. I can imagine her and (Hadley and Betty–my parents/her brother and sister-in-law) and Nanny sitting on a front porch, slowly rocking, talking, and looking out over all of us kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, and extended families. Aunt Mavis stays alive in our stories and memories. We are holding Martha, Julie, Bobby, and their families in the Light.
With love from Norway, Betsy and Mark
I am sorry to hear of Mavis’s passimg. We were in the Faith Sunday School Class at First Baptist Church for many years. It was a joy to know her and share class activities with her
during those years. Blessings to your family during this difficult time.

Julie, I am so sorry! Thinking of you and praying for yours and Martha’s journey through this tough time…love you
