I’M So Sorry For Your Loss. She Was One Of A Kind That Could Do Anything. Nancy Made The Best Potato Salad! We Had Our Ups & Downs. I Will Never Forget Taking Her To See Beth Moore, We Had The Best Time. All Of The “Girls” Doing The Black Friday Shopping One Year. One Time She Had A Birthday Celebration For 3 Of Us Born In June & It Was The Best Birthday That I Had In A Long Time. You Will Be Watching Out For Your Loved Ones & Will Be Missed By Everyone That Knew You!

Jeff,
I Was So Sorry To Learn Of Your Mom’S Death. She Was Always Good To Me When We Were Clogging In The Living Room. She Was A Great Lady And Surely Will Be Missed. Maybe We Can Chat Soon. I Lost My Husband And Am Dealing With Some Medical Stuff Of My Own Or I Would Be There. You And Your Family Are In My Thoughts And Prayers.

Dear Phil And Driggs Family,
Your Mom Was One Of The First People I Met When We Began Attending St Tim’S. She Was Warm And Welcoming, And Often Doting On Her Grandchildren, Or Any Other Children That Were Nearby! We Were Blessed To Know Her, And Know That She Is Rejoicing With Loved Ones Who Have Gone On Before Her To A Heavenly Home. Prayers For All Of You.
