Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Mama, It has been 3 weeks since I last saw you. I feel so lost, sad, and lonely without you to talk to and visit. You can’t know how much my heart aches for your love and smile because, there is no sadness in heaven. Just know that I love and miss both you and dad very much. I hope someday I’ll be seeing you. Love, Baby Ann
Julia was my neighbor for 33 years and I could not have asked for a better neighbor. She was a person of exceedingly high character and who had a big heart for my family and me, always concerned for our health and happiness. She will be greatly missed but will live on in our fond memories of her.
Mom I will miss your beautiful smile and loving character as well as your sense of humor. It will be hard not having the opportunity to make you laugh at my silly-ness anymore. And I want to thank you for getting up with me on those cold winter mornings to help me throw those damn papers. Love you so much my ‘CERTIFIED’. Chas
I am sorry to hear about the loss of Aunt Julie. I will miss her kind and loving voice. She always called me ‘honey’ as she did to all her loved ones. My sincerest sympathy to Cousins Mimmi, Charlie, Philip, Karen, MaryAnn, and Paul, my dad and uncle Manuel at their loss. I am sorry that I will be unable to attend the funeral, I am away on vacation with my granddaughters.
I am sorry to hear of Julia’s passing. I remember her as a wonderful and gracious lady! I’m unable to attend the service, but I will keep all of you in my prayers.
