Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Mel–Your mom always meant a great deal to me as did your friendship in high school. We always hugged when we saw each other in church and I know you will sorely miss her smile and optimism, she was an encourager.
To the Dufur/Collinsworth family. May the good Lord bless and keep you through this time of sorrow. Harris as I know him, may the future remain positive for you and yours. Put God first and you will never come in second. From your long time friend.
Joyce was my second mom growing up, frequently telling me to pull my shoulders back, suck in my stomach and stop sniffling while I was playing the piano. She tried her hardest to teach me to sew and make whacky cake. She was a dear friend to my mother and our family. I’ll always remember her playful sense of humor.
