I will always remember her laughter
To Jean’s family,
Just wanted to let you know how sorry we are for your loss. Though we have not seen Jean in many years, we will always remember her laughter. She would make you smile by just being around her.
Eddie, I am deeply sorry for your loss! I have been praying for you and will continue to do so for a long time to come.
I know from experience that the grieving time can get a lot worse soon after the funeral so please be assured that I am praying for you. Please forgive me if I am unable to come to the family gathering. I am still so overwhelmed by mama’s and Frances’ death that I do not know if I can walk back into Groce for a while. I am mostly hurt about Frances’ death and it has affected me so badly that I am having to see a doctor for help with dealing with this. I love you Eddie and will be praying that your grief process is not as bad as mine.
Eddie,
We are sorry for your loss. This is the time that you need your family, weither it be your own or the car club. We are here if you need anything!! With our deepest sympathy, The Plemmons Family
Eddie, just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. I had planned to get by there today, but snow kept me in. May all the family know the presence of God now and in the days ahead.
Your family is in our prayers
Dennis and Doris
