Robin and Kim: I’m so terribly sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. She was a wonderful lady. As I was growing up, she was there when I needed anything. Sewing, alterations, or just there to talk to. Your entire family treated us all as part of your family. My prayers are with you and your families at this time. Your mother is with her Heavenly Father now, and happily reunited with your Dad, Scotty, and Marsha. She is at peace.
God bless you all.

Robin & Kim: This is always a tough thing to bear. The loss of a Mother is overwhelming. My Mom told me to look at my shadow, and that would be her watching over me. How wonderful that she is up in Paradise with our precious Lord! How awesome it will be on tha glorious day when we are all reunited with our loved Ones. I hope God will bless you with his peace that surpasses all understanding while you go through this. Please know that all of your friends are here if ya’ll need anything, or just want to talk about what a wonderful, sweet and funny Mother she was! I always enjoyed seeing all of you at Donaldson Drive Baptist Church!

Kim and Robin
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a wonderful woman and friend. I know we have lost touch over the years but I have fond memories from our years together at Donaldson Drive Baptist Church.
I think some of our greatest friends are the ones we have while our children are growing up.
May all of your family have the comfort of knowing your mom is in Heaven and at peace.
with love from my family,
Virginia
