Annie, more Sister than sister- in- law, I will miss her so. Though I cannot be there with you all, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers always. May our many memories comfort and give peace to each one of us in these sad and difficult days ahead. I am so happy she was a part of my life. May she sleep softly until we meet again.

My deepest sympathy and condolences for you and your family at this difficult time, may you take comfort and find peace in the knowledge that your mother and father are together again in the loving care of the lord, Jesus Christ.

Enjoy your time now with your husband and also our son Robert.

My heart hurts. I miss you Mom. You and Dad have fun now…. I will miss you always….

Thank You for being the wonderful mother and friend I could ask for! I will miss you greatly.! Sleep well until we meet again!
