Janice, sorry to hear about your mother. She was a dear lady that could get bossy at times if she didn’t think think things were right. I know you will miss her but remember she will be with daddy and the rest of her family and that you will see her again some day

Janice, Brad, and Janna – I was so sorry to learn of the death of your mother/grandmother. All of you are so very special to me and I treasure more than you know the fun times we all had when you and Cliff and Cindy were growing up together. It was a different time back then. Love to all of you.

Janice, I’m sorry I didn’t know about your mom’s death in time to come to the visitation. I try to keep up with the obituaries, but I don’t have a computer at home, so I didn’t hear about it until after the service Sunday. I know you took care of her a long time. May God bless you at this sad time. Because He Lives, Amy S. Osteen
