OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Dear Doris and David,
I know this is a tough time. You have been there for us with the loss of my dad. They say it gets better with time but it doesnt. You miss them but Gods grace and comfort reminds us that we will see them again. Heaven just gained another angel. I love you and if you need anything-I will come running. I did not get the opportunity to know your dad but you have been in my life for many, many years. He sure did raise a wonderful daughter! You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
In memory of friendship and the years we worked together. Nellie I am sorry
Doris, I am praying for you and your family. It is hard to loose love ones, however, we do not have to say goodbye. The wonderful thing is that we do have hope of seeing them again. I pray that God will wrap you and your mother in His arms each day and pull you through with His grace and mercy as He does with me. I love you and God Bless you, Betty
