Aunt V., Pam, Debra, & Elaine,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of going down to Granny Bell and Pa Will’s house with you when I was a little girl. I always enjoyed being around them so much. May God uphold you all with his comfort and his care and grace.
Opal,Doc, Billy, and extended Family Our Deepest Sympathy for the lost of your Mother. Sorry we could not be with you at visitation. All our love and prayers. Jimmie and Shirley Fender
Dear Family,
I know the earthly bodies who remain will miss your loved one, but it is my understanding that she was ready to go home. She is now in the arms of Jesus celebrating the beginning of an eternal life with Him. I look forward to meeting her on the other side.

Dear Opal, Doc and Family,
I enjoyed helping to care for Bell. Her perspective on life and wit often caused me to laugh and smile; I will miss her greatly. I would like to have joined you last night and today, however, I just learned of her passing. I hope that I will still be able to see you again.
Sincerely with Sympathy,
Opal,Pam & Vivian we were so sorry to hear of your Mother and Grandmother’s passing this week.
May God keep you guys in his arms during this time of sorrow.
Love & Prayers, Bill & Jean
Vivian and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your Mom’s death. I remember her and Will so well. When I knew them, it seemed like they never changed, always stayed the same. They were good people. Just trust in God and he will hold you in his arms as you face life without her. I Love your family and think of you often.
Love,
Freda
