God speed, fly high sweet angel
Trent and family, our prayers and love are with you at the passing of your mother. We pray for the peace only God can supply to envelope you during this time of loss.
Sorry for your loss. From the Watters family. May she rest in peace.
I’m so saddened to hear of Aunt Elizabeth’s passing but I’m rejoicing, knowing that she’s in a lot better place now. I always enjoyed visiting with Elizabeth when visiting my parents Jim and Vera Reeves in Norfork. I always felt such a kindred spirit with Aunt Elizabeth. She always made me feel so good, almost like being in the presence of God. I also remember a time when I was a girl visiting Uncle Luis and Aunt Elizabeth, Elizabeth made the best biscuits I’d ever tasted. Love and prayers to you all, Vickie (Reeves) Farrington
