Joan, Jean, Theo, and Family, We were distressed to hear about your Mother several days ago. Regardless of age, health, or any other circumstance in life we are never ready to give up our Moms. We remember quite vividly our years at the West Asheville Presbyterian Church with your Mother and Father. The only comfort at this time comes from a real Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. We are thinking of you and will remember you in our prayers. Zunita and Joe
Joan, Jean, Theo, and Family, We hope it helps in some small way to know that others care. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
