Dear Denise, Doug, Dave, Danny and Donna and family as well as Uncle Charlie, Uncle Dave and Aunt Jo, Our hearts and prayers to our Lord Jesus go out to you at this very sad time of the loss of your dear sweet mother, our Aunt Mary. There are not enough words I can say about how I felt about your Mom. So many wonderful memories flood my mind as the tears stream down my face. This is the part of life (which I know the Lord tells us about) that is so hard. We are blessed to have had, and still have such wonderful parents, aunts, uncles and cousins, and it so very hard to say goodbye. But we are so thankful for the promise of God that we, who know HIM will see our loved ones again. And we look forward to that day, but until then we know God has called to remain here for a purpose. And so we wait and live out HIS will. We had so many good times there in Ohio-I remember your Dad taking us to the firestation and then to get ice cream! And your Mom always had such a beautiful smile on her sweet face. And such a sweet, kind spirit as well. I thought about her at Church yesterday morning, and a smile came over my face as I looked up, picturing she and my beautiful Mom holding hands as young girls and frolicking down the streets of gold. No, we here on Earth will never be the same again, but we will go on, with the help of the Lord... This scripture really helped me when my Mom went home to the Lord. It is Psalm 90. God's Blessings to you all and may you all feel His Peace, and all of the prayers of those who love you. Love, Dianne and Joe & Joseph
