To the Terretta Family,

Knowing the close-knit nature of your family, I was very sad to see that you have lost a very wonderful lady in your life. She soars among the angels now. Rest and take comfort in one another. Share your wonderful memories and be at peace. She's smiling down upon you. God Bless you during this very difficult time.

Clayton, Ernest, and Family:

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I know how long you have been taking care of her at the nursing home, seeing to her needs, and comforting her in so many ways. I know Buddy and Jerry will be upset to hear the news also, they are in a similar situation with Mrs. Ford and don't know what to expect from day to day with her health. My thoughts and prayers are with you. If there is anything I can do let me know.
