My heart goes out to those of you left behind; such a loving family. Surely ‘family support’ is how you keep going so beautifully. Yes, Wanda’s departure will change things; but you can embrace the future, with a hope based in Christ. He goes before us, changing things, and us, for our benefit and His glory. I love you, Rosa and Fay, for your valuable friendship. Always let me know how I can return that!

I was so sorry to hear about your Mother. I felt I knew her so well by just listening to you talk about her. Everytime I passed her house I had to smile because I knew what a great home she had made for her family. You were the light of her life and I know you will miss her, but you will also have some wonderful memories of growing up with such a special mom. I’ll be thinking of you
