I hope you all continue to be healthy and happy.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was a neighbor growing up. I remember my folks talking with her and Forrest, I know she will be at peace now and with her husband. May her joy and life lift the burden of your sorrow. My prayers to you all.

Sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I visited with her often in the cemetery as she was always busy with the flowers/bushes on your Dad and sister’s graves. We had alot of nice little visits, and I looked forward to seeing her there while I too was watering plants on my parents graves. She was a “unique” lady !

I was just up at the cementary last summer and saw the pictures of your Dad and Vanessia. I went to school with her and hadn’t seen her since. Your Mom kept the flowers so beautiful up there. She was a good person.
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you.
