Theresa, we’re so sorry to hear of your mother’s death. I don’t believe we ever had the chance to meet her, but I imagine she was a lot like you–a good friend, a good person.
Thank you for all of your support. We are very grateful to each of you from the bottom of our hearts. -Theresa, Kimberly and Dave

Theresa, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I saw this quote some time ago that really touched me. “A mother’s death are the first tears shed without her” So very true. With hearfelt sympathy, Cindy
I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Kathy for very many years, but it felt like I had known her all my life. She will be greatly missed. I know she is in a beautiful place now. My prayer would be that God would watch over and comfort her family left behind.
