I remember going with you, Danny, to take food to your mom a couple times. She never wanted the vegetables:) Thinking of you all during this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss. Wish I could have been there for you. Love you, Areta…….
My love and prayers go to the entire family. I saw the notice late last night, but thought I would come for visitation tonight. I should have read the arrangements but didn’t. May the Lord surround you abundantly. “Cuz” was special to many.
