Sorry to hear of your mother passing.
Please accept my prayers and deepest sympathy at this time.
My memory of her was the dedication and faithfulness to her church. With her husband, they were regular worshippers each Sunday. It brings back a lot of memories of my time in the parish.
May she now rest in peace and rise in glory. Well deserved.

Heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beautiful Mom.
In my adult years, visiting your Mom, with my Mom, showed what a real treasure she was. Always ‘open door, kettle on’ kind of welcome ….loved her stories, her laughter and her zest for life. So happy to have had these snippets of time with this wonderful lady.
No one is ever ready to say goodby to a parent…. even as they age , we expect things to go on and on as always, so this part of the cycle of life is the part that is hard to accept, no matter what age. We are so sorry for your loss.

Our thoughts are with you as you say good-bye to your lovely Mom. She was a beautiful lady. I have wonderful memories of long ago and going to “Valerie’s store” when I was a young teenager! Anytime I saw her in recent years we always reminisced. Cherish your wonderful memories and she will stay in your heart forever.
With Heartfelt Sympathy,
Judy & Terry
