In our thoughts and prayers.
Jackie, we are all thinking about you at work. Let us know if there is anything we can do.
When anxieties overwhelms me, you comforted and soothed me," (Psalms 94:19). My sincere condolences for your loss. Losing someone you love can be very difficult. I’ve found strength and comfort in God’s promise to end suffering, tears, and death (Revelations 2:3,4).
So sorry for your loss..Prayers for you all..
I am saddened to learn about the loss of Faye Dean. She and my mother Sharon (Mross) Britton were friends as young girls and thereafter. She spoke often of Faye Dean over the years and treasured the friendship. Our deepest sympathy, the Britton family.
Dave and Family,
So sorry for your loss. Our sympathy and prayers for all. Brenda and Joey
I went to school with Faye Dean at DVB years ago and have not seen her since I graduated. I recognized her by her sweet smile and she was just as sweet growing up. I know her family and friends will miss her. Rest in Peace Faye Dean
Praying for GOD's comfort and grave to be with you all. Love and Prayers.
Thinking about all of you!
Mrs. Ellis kept my son, Jason, many years ago. She was so kind. I never worried one bit when he was with her. I enjoyed visiting with her in town from time to time after that. Blessings and prayers to each one of her family left to miss her so.
