We were saddened to hear of your mother's passing. Your parents were some of the most precious people we knew. We don't drive by the turn off to you family home without thinking of them. We trust that God will keep your whole family in his loving care. Mother and I didn't see the notice in the paper so we drove by the grave. Those yellow roses were a lovely tribute to your mother. In Christ's Love, Karen and Nonnie
