RV, Diane, and Doug…
I’m so sorry to hear of Geneva’s passing; but I also know she has been seriously ill recently. It seems we’re all reaching the point that we’re losing our parents all too fast (both daddy and mama died within two years of each other, leaving only Mike and me now). I remember Geneva fondly; and I hope you will remember her as a healthy and loving wife and mother you knew her to be. Peace and blessings to you all.
Doug, RV, Diane & Sandra;
Sorry to here of the passing of your mother. I read where RV and her had been married 60 years, that is wonderful that they had spent 60 wonderful years together. I know it must be heart braking to lose your wife and mother, but remember you will see her someday. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Doug and Kate:
I was saddened to hear of the loss of Doug’s Mother. Please know that during this difficult time, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
