I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Aunt Thelma. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless!
We are very sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a very fine lady and always had a good word for everyone. Ben & Joey have good memories of her from their visits to Earlene’s.
From the other side she smiles down on you with Uncle Carl and her grandson embracing her from either side. Oh Joy!
She was a favorite aunt and we
adored her. God bless her,
she finally got to go home which was
her heart’s desire for many years.
My late husband, Bill, adored her
and photographed her often.
Linda, Kenneth, and Family: We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We love you, and we are praying for all of you. Should there be anything we can do. Please let us know, you know where we’re at and the phone number. God Bless and Love to All, Rick, Charles, Cory,Teresa Ann

Linda,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I didn’t know her, but judging from the great person you are she must have been a great mother. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
