Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Mrs. Vanhook has fought a good fight and has been an inspiration to family and friends as she faced health challenges for years. From the time I can remember, she was the dear lady that always laughed and always made you smile when you were in her presence. Our prayers are with you (Brenda and family) as you reflect on the happiest of times that give you comfort. You were blessed to have her as ‘mother’!
Brenda and Family, We were so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She will truly be missed. Although my dad (Charles Whitley, Sr.) had passed , your mom would always send our mom a lovely floral arrangement around Thanksgiving. She was a very sweet lady. And was always glad to see us. May you find comfort in knowing that your mother was a ray of sunshine to our family. We pray that God will continue to bless you and your family.
