Dear family you have my sincere condolences. What precious memories you must hold of your dear mother, grand, and great grandmother, who lived such a long life! May those memories, along with your reliance and trust in the one true God Psalm 83:18 comfort you during this difficult time and may you find comfort in his promise of a resurrection in Acts 24:15.
Dear Lynn and Donna,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Doris was a very sweet, loving person. There wasn’t a day that went by she didn’t call me to see how my mother Maggie was doing. I was crushed to hear of her pain. Your family is a very loving family, My prayers are for all.
GOD bless you.
Love,
SKIP and Marcia Nevins Weimer
