  1. Kim, I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mom and dad were great folks — and I know you'll really miss them. Know that you're not alone — you're in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Mark

  2. Sue, Kim and Kay We are so very sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this very sad time. We remember such good times in the neighborhood growing up when our folks were young and vibrant. It's so hard to realize how fast the time goes by. Love, Terri (Clayton) & Randy Hoover

  3. "And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." at Acts 24:15 the Apostle Paul said and wrote these words for our comfort. May they prove to be so for you and your family. While I may not know you personally I have experienced the lost of death. Your neighbor and friend Maddy Hernandez
