Danna and Debbie,
It was an honor to serve your mother at St. James Place in the last season of her life. Her beautiful smile, quick wit, love for the Lord & music will never be forgotten.
I know Glirma is looking down at the two
of you with a BIG smile!
You are what every parent could only hope for. The unconditional love and compassion you showed your precious mother was a true example of how God intended.....
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of
your life.
My love always,

Dear Debbie and Dana--
We are so sorry to hear of your mom's death. She was a wonderful lady, a good mother to you both and a good wife to Dan and a good friend to Pat and me. We last saw her at Ruby Creswell's burial. Since that time Pat has had a bad stroke and we are living at an assisted living facility (The Haven--767-8955)
Our thoughts and prayers are with you both.
