I am sorry for the loss of your mom. I'm glad I had an opportunity to visit with her briefly last year. I have nothing but fond memories of her, as she was a wonderful person.
May God Bless all of you during this difficult time.
Love, Ashley (Lane)

Dana & Lynell, I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I know it has been several years since we seen each other but, I have such fond memories of your family and think of you often. Thelma was always so kind to me when I lived down the street from you and I am so glad that I was a part of Judy's family even for such a short time. I pray God will comfort you during this time as only He can. God Bless, I love you Linda

DEAREST LYNELL, SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE PASSING OF YOUR MOTHER. I LOST MY MOTHER LAST YEAR ON THE FOURTH OF JULY. YOU WILL ALWAYS MISS HER, BUT TRY NOT TO THINK OF THOSE TIMES WITH SADDNESS, SHE WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO. LOOK AT THE PAST MEMORIES WITH THE JOY THAT ONLY A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER CAN KNOW. YOU ARE AFTER ALL A MOTHER YOURSELF AND I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD THAT A MOTHER'S LOVE IS NEXT TO GOD'S LOVE. I DID NOT KNOW UNTIL I READ THE OBITUARY ABOUT ROBBIE. WE USED TO WORK AT SEARS TOGETHER. NOW THAT DOES SEEM SO FAR AWAY. WOULD LOVE TO TALK TO YOU SOMETIME. E MAIL ME IF AND WHEN YOU WOULD LIKE. LOVE AND PRAYERS, TERESA
