Sherrie,
I am so sorry to hear your Dad passed away. I know how close you and he were and how good of care you gave him in his later years. I would come to the funeral home but I just had knee surgery and am not very mobile right now. I did want to offer my condolences to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Debra
Sherrie and Inez,
We were so sorry to hear about James. As next door neighbors, we have gotten to know you and love you. We will surely miss seeing James working in the yard and talking with him about projects going on around the neighborhood. He was such a delightful man and a great neighbor. We will be praying for you during this difficult time and know that you can ask us for anything you may need. God Bless.
Dear Sherrie,
I am so sorry about the passing of your Dad. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Debbie Owens
