Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Amanda, I will always remember how wonderful your Mom was and although it’s been years since we’ve seen each other, I wish I could be there to give you a hug. Just remember there are angels always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hands of God. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the family of Susan, my heart & prayers go out to each of you. Susan and I went to Southeast HS together and we lived down the street from each other on Armour then but it’s been years since we’ve seen each other. I remember her as always smiling, funny, happy – just a good person to know. She’s no longer suffering. God bless all of you who loved her.
I was saddened to read of Susan’s passing in the paper this evening. Susan crossed paths with myself and my husband, Zelbert, at the Cancer Center of Kansas located in Dodge City, Kansas. Susan was always an up beat person who seemed to make friends easily and will be missed by all who came to know her. I’ll never forget the smile upon her face the last time we saw her. A beautiful wide grin.She was in remission and taking one more treatment even though she didn’t have to for extra measure. I trust that she and my husband will cross paths once again at home with our Father. God bless you all as you morn her passing from her earthly home.
