Sherri, I am so sorry for your loss. Seeing each other at Broadway, always gave us a little reassurance. You felt a kinship if you will, for the caretaker and the parent that needed so much care. I'll miss being there, and I'll miss just running into you for a quick visit. Take care, prayers for you and your family.

Sherri and Joey,
Your mother was a sweet and caring lady. She was certainly special to me while growing up in Rison and I will never forget her kindness.
My sincere sympathy to you.

Sherry and Andy and Joey and Wanda and all grand-kids, I was so saddened to learn of Ms. Dorothy's passing. I know that you all had her for a long time but in some ways this must make it even more difficult to lose her. She was a force to reckon with and did a lot of good works in her life time. She was a wonderful person.

Andy I sure hated to see you all lost your mother in law. I did not know Mrs. Pierce but she sounds like a fine Christian lady. Please know that God has her right beside him and he is there to comfort you all as well. My prayers are with you all.

Love In Christ,

I like to think that the values and lessons that moms teach their children make them immortal as their values and lessons are passed on to future generations. What a long and beautiful life to celebrate this Easter weekend. My thoughts are with you all.
