Lit a candle in memory of Susie Loretta Coats Langley
LYNNE AND TIM AND FAMILY, OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU FOR YOUR LOSS. I LAST SAW YOUR MOM THIS PASS SUMMER WHEN SHE WAS TAKING A WALK DOWN ALTA VISTA LANE, SHE WAS SO PLEASANT AND PEACEFUL WITH A BIG SMILE ON HER FACE, TELLING ME HOW MUCH SHE ENJOYED THE OUTDOORS AND HER WALKS. SHE WAS AS ALWAYS SO CONCERNED ABOUT HOW HER NEIGHBORS WERE DOING. MY MOM AND DAD I KNOW WILL GREATLY MISS HER KINDNESS AND JOY. YOUR MOM HELPED TO CREATE A SAFE AND FUN PLACE FOR US KIDS TO GROW UP AND PLAY. IT WAS A VERY IMPORTANT AND CHERISHED PART OF MY LIFE, WHAT GOOD TIMES WE ALL HAD. EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL YEARS HAVE PASSED, I THINK OF YOU BOTH OFTEN. I WILL BE FLYING TO CHICAGO TODAY AND WILL MISS SEEING YOU AT THE VISITATION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO. FRED AND LOIS ADAMS
