Your mother was the sweetest person. I could always count on her hugs to brighten any day. Her caring heart and contagious laugh will stay in my memory forever. God has another one of our best !
Dawn and Brian, I’m so sorry to hear about your mom passing. She was always so sweet, had a kind word with a smile! Loved working with her at Grace in the kitchen! Love knowing that she’s resting in Jesus’s arms.
Brian and Dawn, It is so bittersweet to hear that your Mom has passed away. We loved your Mom and Dad so yet have that great assurance that we will see them again. What a reunion is going on with so many dear ones in heaven. Praying for you as you go through this season of life. Hugs!
