So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful lady. The good ones are leaving us for a better place. My mom died last year, so I know what you are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time…..
Andy, Donna and Angie, Please know that my love and prayers are with each of you and like my own Mom who passed away last April I am sure your Mom is safe in the arms of Jesus. This just gives you one more reason to live for God and know that you will see her in heaven some day. I loved your Mom and Dad and I still remember all the good times at Mt Zion Baptist Church when we were all kids and your Dad was the pastor there. Hold to your good memories because that and God;s love will get you thru this. My Love and prayers Linda

To Lucind’s family: I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear mother. I graduated from Candler High School with Cindy in 1945. She was always a sweet and beautiful girl. WE had our appendix out at the same time when we were 10 years old. Our beds were side by side at the old Norburn Hospital in Asheville. Please accept my sincere condolences.

We were classmates. She was kind, very considerate and always willing to listen to problems–though so trivial today. She was beautiful both inside and out. And, she was a great lady. My heart goes out to the family with their great loss.
May you find comfort in knowing Mimi is at peace in the arms of her savior. All though I did not know her personally, the testimony of what God did in her life is still alive through the memories of all of her children and grandchildren. I celebrate her home-coming with you. Like I told my Papa who died not long ago, this is not goodbye but see you later. Yes, in heaven we will all be together. God bless you all. I will be praying for you in your time of grief.
Andy,Donna,Angie,
I want you to know how sorry I am for your loss, although it is Cindy’s gain! I think of her now in heaven with Don, Daddy and Mama, Lawrence and Ruth, and others. They certainly had a good life here and I know you all have such wonderful memories to help you in the coming weeks. It is so hard to lose parents but God will comfort. Thinking of you all.
