Dear Aubrey, Annette, and Family,
Mabel is among the kindest people I know. She had a way of making me feel welcome and loved whenever I saw her. The saying is a bit trite, but true: Heaven’s gain is our loss.
I can only imagine how your hearts are breaking right now in your loss. I pray that God will give you a keen sense of His presence, comfort, strength, and grace in the days ahead. I have been praying for all of you as I prayed for Mabel. I’ll keep praying for you.
I’m sorry that I can’t be there in person, but I am with you in spirit.
Love,
Darlene
We are thinking of you’all in your time of sorrow. God bless.
We are traveling in San Diego Ca.

Aubrey, Annette & Familly,
I was saddened to learn of Mabel’s death. She was always very nice and friendly to me. I know that the family and everyone on the creek is remembering happier times and smiling then they think of her. In sympathy, Freda P. Woody
So sorry to hear of Mabel’s death. I remember her from our youth when I was visiting her relatives. She was always smiling.
