I’m so sorry, but just think of what a wonderful place she is in now. I’m sure she is smiling down at you. You and your family are in my thoughts in prayers.
Jennifer, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Find comfort in the days ahead remembering the wonderful memories you have of your grandparents and the special love they had for you and Brian.
Jennifer,
So sorry for your loss. We will hope for you and family to find comfort in days to come. I can tell you time helps us heal slowly after the loss of a loved one. Just hold on to the good memories.
Mrs. Florence and Mr. Carl were a sweet couple involved in so many community events. I knew them thru the Historical Society. I always admired them and their personalities. They seemed so close and I’m sure they are happy to be reunited in Heaven. Lincoln County was definitely influenced by these two citizens.
She was a remarkable and unique lady. The memories of her will live on in my heart and through stories shared with our children. My love to the Moore and the Davies family…
Jennifer, She has lived such a full and active life. I know your memories will be a great comfort to you and your family.
Love to your family. Pam Key
