Paul, Casey and Dale and all of your families, my heart is broken at the loss of your mom,grandmother, daughter and sister. I have so many memories of the times our families spent together. I think of you guys so often . My mom passed away 7 years ago and while I still miss her terribly I have the assurance of knowing I'll see her again. We lost our sister Diane on Thanksgiving this year so I know the pain of loss as you do all too well. May our Lord Jesus Christ comfort you in this time of sorrow as He has our family. I love you all and hope to see you again.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
Judy and Charlie were friends of mine from many years ago.

I just knew Judy as my hairdresser, but over the years, I felt we became friends. I always enjoyed going to her house, and I never did find anyone who did my hair as well as she did, so finally just got it cut short- no more curls! The last time I had seen her, she had improved so much, and looked better than any time since she had come back from Fla. Then I would drive past the house, and could tell she was not there. I tried to call her in Fla., because I still had her number from when she was there earlier, but could never get thru. I will miss her as a friend.

My friend, Judy. I willl remember the shared fun we had on our mini trips to North Carolina and our trips to Cypress Gardens and Charlestowne Landing. I will also remember our "chatting" together on the phone.
Without a doubt, you are happy now and at peace with Charles and Charley.
ps
will think fondly of you when I make your orzo salad and special potato recipes.
I am grateful and enriched to know you, good friend, and your loving family. Selfishly, I will miss you. God speed-- say Hi to Charlie for us
