CONDOLENCES

Hi Cousins,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom, but I do know she is at peace with our Lord and Savior.  I have so many wonderful memories of growing up and all the wonderful times our families spent together.  One of my regrets is that my children never got to know or spend time with their extended families. All of my kids do remember your Mom & Dad and remember what great times they had when they came down here to visit with my Mom & Dad.  Your parents always made my kids feel very special when they were around.  How I wish we all had been able to spend more time together. 

Again, my sympathy goes out to all of you and your families, I know how great your loss is.

My Love to all of you, your cousin,
Sandy

We extend our condolences to Uncle Jim, Cousins Diane,Jim,Randy,Pat and their families. We have wonderful memories of Aunt Virginia as a vivacious and loving person.  She will be greatly missed. We are comforted by the knowledge that she is with our Lord and, someday, we all will be together again.   Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.

I'm so sorry for your loss.  I remember growing up on Cambridge Avenue and Virginia and Jim used to come over frequently...I remember we enjoyed their visits, always had fun and laughter.  Such great neighbors and friends.  Virginia was a special person and will be greatly missed.

Her Journey's Just Begun

Don't think of her as gone away-
her journey has just begun
life holds many facets
the Earth is only one

Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years

Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away

And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost-
And she was loved so much.

- Ellen Brenneman

I will always remember your mom as a fun loving person. When we were in Hi Notes together (Patty) and had meetings at your home she always made us feel so welcome.

May God grant her eternal rest.
