MOM I MISS YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!!
So sorry to hear about Mrs Jones. She was a sweet lady. Prayers for the family.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. God never meant for us to have to deal with pain and suffering from sickness nor of the sting of death of a loved one. God calls death an enemy. He promises do away with the causes of suffering and even death. God feels for you in your pain. Jeremiah 29:11; Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 21:4: Psalms 34:18
U never be forgotten. I will miss u everyday. Family it will be hard but things can go on. Love all of u guys
Carolyn, you were my sister in law for 53 yrs. You will be missed! Spread your wings woman and we'll all reunite one day.
We really loved this woman. She was the nicest and sweetest lady you could ever meet. I've seen pictures of me when I was about 3 or 4 with mine and their family camping. I wish I could remember that that far back because it looked like so much fun. We love you Carolyn and we will miss you ALWAYS â¤
One of the sweetest ladies I ever met prayers for your family
