Ray I offer my condolences to you and family.. I know it’s not easy, but I believe that our heavenly father knows the grief you feel and stands with you. I’m here for you if you feel you want me to talk to. I know you have many friends that feel the same. Marshall
Susan and Carla, your mom leaves such a precious legacy through her family. She was so kind and gentle, and I see that trait in both of you as well. I would get tickled at her during visits when she reminded your dad to not get to get too loud as he shared some experience they’d just encountered. She was always such a joy to be around and lifted the spirits of those in her presence. I am so glad I was able to get to know her and call her my friend. She was always a blessing to me and I will miss her.
Ray, Ken and I were so sorry to learn about Barbara, she was a pretty and sweet lady. Our prayers for you and your family. God Bless you, Ken and Janelle
Our condolences to the family.
