    Janice and Craig. So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Our mothers used to laugh till they cried. I bet they’ll have the same fun in heaven as they arrived only days apart. God Bless you and yours.

    So many memories of your Mother in Aunt Clara’s house on Sullivan Trail. She was a wonderful lady and a great friend. You were truly blessed to have her for so long.

    Craig love you and sorry for your loss. It was a nice service at the Gravesite and I’m sure she was looking down, listening to the kind words and beautiful stories… If you could see her now..
