Marty I am so sorry for your loss. When I saw you at my mom’s services a week ago I had no idea that your mom was sick. Please forgive me for not making the services…My head has been so wrapped up with mom passing that I haven’t even seen a paper or looked on online. I know what you are feeling & my prayers are with you and your family. Now they are both in God’s hands in heaven & our lifetime home. May the Lord know what he is getting into to with the both of them together again!
With all my love and prayers…Jean Perkins Jones

Marty and Lisa,
I am so sorry for your loss. As you know, I have just lost my Mother in whom I still (as a middle aged adult) depended on for motherly love, support and understanding. Her voice is irreplaceible, but I will always feel her love and caring. I hope you can find consolation in this and the fact that she is in a better place, and will never not be there for you in spirit.
Michael
