Donna,
You and your family have been on my heart since I heard of your mom’s passing. She was such a big part of your life and of your family. I have heard so many stories about your mom since I have known you. I can only imagine what you must be going through. Know that you are in my prayers and that I am here if there is any way that I can make this time easier. You are such a good person. Your life brings honor to the parents who raised you to be such a strong, loving woman. May God hold you all in his arms and give you comfort now, as well as in the days ahead.

Johnny,
I was saddened to learn of the loss of your mom. She was always such a full of fun person. I did not realize
that Debbie had passed also. I guess this means we are becoming the older generation.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May
our Heavenly Father bring you comfort and peace now and in the coming days.
