Dearest neigbor and friend you will be sorely missed but I know you go to a better place. May God Bless you and keep you safe in his arms.
Vicky I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. I know she is in a better place and is not suffering. God will help you thru all you must endure at this time. I love you as my sister in Christ.
In the 1950s, I was in what I think was the first Sunday School class at West Asheville Baptist that Catherine taught. She was so nervous, and all her girls felt such empathy that we quickly learned to love her. Fifty or so years later, I still have fond memories of her.
My sympathy goes to her family.
Vicky,
I was so sorry to hear about your mother. I regret that I was unable to come to the funeral but I have the flu. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
With love,
Mary
