Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Please accept my belated expression of sorrow on the loss of your Mother, and my cousin, Irma McFall. I knew only two of her siblings, Phillip and Laurene, personally, but the loss is nontheless regretted. Perhaps, someday, we may cross paths and become acquainted, yet.
They were simpler days, fuller lives and closer families. Our trips to Kansas each summer were always planned around the McFalls, because we looked forward to waiting for the watermellon to drop in price, usally down around a cent a pound. I never saw your mom flustered — in fact she seemed to enjoy all our uncles and aunts getting together. She always welcomed us with open arms as if it was not big thing, as if she was just adding water to the stew to feed a few more mouths. Simple life, close family and a full life–that was Aunt Irma and your mom. I am proud to say I come from the same family. She set examples of servanthood, humility, integrity and love that I can only pray I can match. God got a mighty fine woman in heaven this week. I pray she is enjoying riches of which she could have only dreamed. We are saddened by her passing and enriched by her life. May God bless you all. Ron and Linda Johnston
Hi All, Sorry that we will not be able to make it to the funeral, but we just returned from Ireland with Mary and Les. I really would love to be there. I know that where your mother is now is a much better place then she has been in for the last few years. I am truly happy that we got to see her at the last reunion. But I know that she is having the best Family Reunion now. She Has a very special family here on earth too , I know that she will really be missed by all of you. Love to all of you. Please give Uncle Phil a big hug and kiss for me and tell him that I love him. Kathleen
You won’t recognize my name, but please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother. I remember your family living in the 1100 block of E. Vermont in Eureka in the ’50s. I was going to Random school at the time. My late grandparents, Lewis and Eva Curnutt, were your neighbors, and you lived in the white house on the corner. Many happy hours were spent at my grandparents’, and they enjoyed having you as neighbors–I remember at leat one of you being on the way, and the fun they had from you kids–your antics and comments. I am sorry that your parents and brother are gone. Seeing the name brought back memories of a simpler, happy time.
Life is like a delicate rose, One slight accident will Cause it to cease,until then Time feels like it froze.just Like the sent of a fragile rose. Their memory will remain, They are never truly lost As long as you remember. It might hurt, But they are still there, In your heart, like the delicate fragile rose…
I miss you mom and I’ll love you no matter what even after my eyes are permanently shut theres lots of memories we share but they’re with me in every prayer I like watching old Christmas videos I love your laugh and your smile when it glows when I dream about you it makes me wish you were here I’d give anything to see you again to shed my last tear I know your watching down on me I hope I make you proud but I cant wait until the day I meet you on that cloud
Hi All, I had really hoped to be able to be there, but I am committed to a bunch of other travel starting next week, so it just won’t work. If, as I believe, we are reflections of those who nutured us, cared for us and raised us, then your Mom/Grandmother (and Sister) was a pretty special lady. She certainly leaves an amazing legacy of wonderful family. I know that you will all miss her and it just won’t be the same thinking about Wichita and the Johnston family without her. Thinking of you, Sid
Though I can’t be with you in person, I am with you today in thought and prayer.
