Oh my friend Becky, girls and family. I hate to see you have lost such a great momma. I had not seen either of your parents since around 1974-75 but I can always remember how sweet they were to me no matter how much Becky and I got into! I know how much you will miss them both but remember to look to The Lord for He is there any day or night for you. My prayers are with you all. Please feel free to call on me if I can do anything for you. I love you, Linda Williams (870-735-0376 or email me if you need me.

Aunt Margaret was a wonderful, kind person. She will be deeply missed. Her passing marks the last of that generation of the family. They have left an amazing legacy. I wish that I could be there at the funeral, but family health issues keep me from traveling. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and that I mourn with you for your loss.

Thinking of you and your family during this time. I wanted to share the following poem: Death is Nothing at All
I have only slipped away into the next room,
I am I and you are you,
Whatever we were to each other - that we still are.
Call me by my familiar name;
Speak to me in the easy way, which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone;
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, and pray for me.
Let my name be forever the same as it always was,
Let it be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it always was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity.
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
Somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well.

I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love...Leo Buscaglia
My heart goes out to you and your family.
