Sharlene and family,
I’m so very sorry for your loss. We have some great memories of our families together and of your mom not to mention all the pictures that will last a lifetime. They are all together now in heaven. They will all be missed and thought of often. God Bless. Love, Sharon
Dear Sharlene and Family,
I cant tell you how sad this day truly is. My heart and prays go out to you and your Family. I am just sitting here thinking of all the wonderful times we as a family have had. First thing that comes to mind is your Moms wild tasted in wallpaper. She was way before her time. I loved her so.
Love,
Leslie
Sharlene & Family,
I want to Thank you for sharing your mom (grandmother) with me. She was always a bright spot in mine and my family’s life. She taught me a lot of life lessons, I would not have learned with out her. I still to this day use many of them and have passed them on to my daughter’s. I will always think of her and know that she is with her much missed family knitting on a cloud. Love and God Bless Missy
Dear Sharlene,
Liz Mearkle told me of your dear mother’s passing. I have seen what a devoted daughter you are. You will miss your mother, but she’ll be watching over you from above and her spirit will always be with you. I hope knowing this will will lessen your sadness during this difficult time.
Love and prayers to you and your family.
