Our heartfelt sympathy to all of you. We have some wonderful memories of your mom that we will cherish always.
We our so sorry for your loss. Revelations 21:4 ( And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes. And death will be no more, neither will mourning , nor out cry , nor death be any more, the former things have passed away.)

Our Sympathy Extended to You and Your Families during this time of gathering together. Both Your Mom and Dad were very special to us. As we may not be there in person, will be there in thoughts. God Bless Your Family.
My condolences to the family. Irene was such a wonderful lady. I have such happy memories of playing in the creek in the front of her house with Greg and Donnie. Irene would always give us snacks and take time to talk to us. I always loved when she came to TN to visit and she was great to my son, Brandon. I like to think of them both in heaven, waiting on the rest of us to join them.
