Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Susy and Richard, I’m so sorry. Your Mother was so awesome. She always had a smile when you walked in the room. Remember all those hot days showing horses and our Mom’s there to make sure we had everything? All the cookouts. Wow, the memories come flowing back. I hope her passing finds you thinking about all the great times. It’s not easy, we lost Mom in 2007 and Dad July 31st of this year. Hang in there… Honestly, I’ve been thinking of you often, wondering how everyone is and hoping they are doing fine. I see Stan every once in awhile, and Lucy if she stops by the store. Give me a call or email if you wish.. 316-461-9123 or Headputtz@cox.net
I was thinking about our mom’s today. Wishing I could talk to them, so, on a whim, I googled them, and found this site. Guess since they both passed away in November, they are on my mind more than usual? Or, because it’s Thanksgiving week, and I’m remembering family gatherings? Anyway, just want you to know that your mom meant a lot to me, and I miss talking to her, hearing her laugh! Love you guys, Jan
