Mollie,
I am so sorry at the death of your mother's passing. I know when we were in high school how much she meant to you.
I know that you, your sister and father find comfort in the promise of the resurrection. May you all know the comfort from the Lord and memories that will remind you-she has only just gone home.
Awaiting the resurrection.
Steve

My heart goes out to each of you for your loss will be greatly missed each and every day. I remember Myrtle when we were children and I would come to Grandpa Gill's and at the Gill Reunion. You are in my prayers and you have my love. So sorry I cannot be with you at this time.
