Connie and Fred,
It has been a long time since I have seen you all. Memories of your Dad farming the fields when my grandmother and grandfather Newbold lived. Time has gone by fast. Your family is in my prayers. Put your hand into the hand of the Lord's at this time of sorrow. Know that your Mother is still with you in spirit. Now she is free of sickness and aches and pains. She is forever at peace with the Lord.

May you find comfort in the memories that are yours to cherish always, and strength in the companionship of those who share your loss.... I have learned never to underestimate the healing power we all have. It is always there to be used for the highest good. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. (Matthew 5:4) May it be a source of inner strength to know that there's a loving God watching over you, and that, throughout this time of need, He'll stay close by your side. I have fought the fine fight, I have run the course to the finish, I have observed the faith.-2Timothy 4:7. As for me, I will lie down that I may sleep; I shall certainly awake, for Jehovah himself keeps supporting me. -Psalms 3:5

Sorry to hear of your loss. I had some great times with both Grandma & Pop, on the way to your house in Covington, when we were growing up. They will both be missed very much. Rusty & I will remember you in our prayers.
