I left the beach in time to make it to the funeral, however, my car broke down on the way home. I am sorry I wasn’t here today.
Aunt Clara was always a warm, caring person with kind words about others. Her laugh was contagious. Her positive attitude helped me when I was young.
I pray for your healing to begin soon. Love, Sandra
Dennis and Paul, I was so sorry to hear of the death of your Mom. I didn’t know about her death until I was at church today. I have many fond memories of her. Mrs. Milam used to lead the singing while my Mom played the piano many years ago in Sunday School. May you find peace in knowing that she is no longer suffering, and she is in Heaven along with your Dad.
Dennis and Paul, I am sorry to learn of your mother’s death. I was glad to have grown up at WABC and to have known her and your dad, and both of you, esp. Dennis. God bless you and your families.
Paul,
I came online to see my mother’s memorial and saw your mother’s name. It is so ironic that our fathers both died around the same time and now we have both lost our mothers. My prayers are with you. My phone number is in the book. God bless. Your mother was a saint.
