Thoughts and prayers coming your way
Prayers to Gigi’s family. So sorry for your loss. Love and prayers.
Dear Bobbi and Ann , my condolences to all your family. She was a lovely lady. Sorry I will not be able to work her funeral because I will be out of town, but my prayers will be with your family.
Dear Bobbi and Ann. My condolences to your whole family.
I am so sorry that I won’t be working Virginia’s viewing . I will be out of town. She was a lovely lady.
May the words at 1 Corinthians 15:26 be of comfort to the friends and family of Virginia, where it says “the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.”
Sandy, Bobbi, Jerry and families,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Your Mom/Grandmother was a very special person. She was one unique lady who lived her life to the fullest! She has earned her heavenly home … and probably planning an excursion. I know this leaves a big emptiness for all of you .. She was so proud of all of you Remember all the good times .. .funny times ..and even those not so good times …what a great family you were priviledged to be part of
I can remember when we were kids and all four families would congregate at Aunt Gee Gee’s house and play in the yard, sometimes down at the creek right across the road, looking for minnows, and eating delicious meals at her long kitchen table. Our parents took a lot of photos of each set of families in Aunt Gee Gee’s yard. We had a very good time and I looked forward to spending time with everyone, including our grandmother, Grandma Simms. Aunt Gee Gee was a generous person and I’ll always remember her wit and her sense of humor.
