Donna and family. I am so sorry for your loss. While I did not know your Mother very well but do remember going to your house after school for dinner. I remember her as a very gracious & beautiful lady.
Deepest Sympathy.

Donna and C.B. and families. Although we can not be there, we wanted both of you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. My thoughts travel back to the day that Cary and I were wed on her front porch, the reception she hosted, all of those Thanksgiving dinners held at her home, the many hours of swimming in the pool as kids and her soft sweet voice. She was always the model of a godly mother and one who cared about others. She will be missed, I’m sure but the memories will never fade. Rest assured she has left her mark on those around her. May you feel His presence in the days and months to come. Cary and Gail
C.B. and Patsy, praying that God will comfort you in the passing of your mother. It’s never easy letting them go but I know you will have many special memories of her in days to come. God’s blessings to you as you mourn her passing. Danny and Janice
Donna, I am so sorry for the passing of your mother. Katy, as I always thought of her, was always such a sweet lady to me. May God cover your family with his comfort and peace.
