Larry, Linda and Billy,
We are sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother. She will be missed we know. God bless you and your families as you minister to each other during this time. Your memories of her will be especially precious as will the knowledge that the Lord Is caring for her now. Surely she looked back with longing to the three of you even as she went joyfully to her heavenly home.
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Proverbs 31:30

Larry and Ann,
I am thinking of the wonderful times at Gulf Shores when you invited us to your condo to enjoy food made by Mrs. E. Though I did not get the chance to meet her, I know she was a wonderful mom and grandmother from the way you spoke of her. Rea and I are thinking of you and your family.
Love,
Kermie

Mrs. E was a great lady, wife, and mom. She has joined Wally in the chorus with our Heavenly Father. Praise him for her life. Sweet memories and condolences for her children. The greatest thing in this life is to be loved. She truly was.
