Lisa,
I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Betty's passing. It seems like yesterday when your mother, dad and yourself used to come visit in the summers to see Mommie. You and I used to go to the barn and try and catch live rats. You wanted to take one home as a pet and your mom freaked out!

Know we are praying for you during this difficult time
Love,
David Hoyle

Lisa,
I am thinking of you as I know how difficult it is to have your mom now gone. Hold tight to all the memories as they will help in small ways to ease the pain and sadness. May God wrap His loving arms around you right now and comfort you as only He can. Much love, Betty Dean Blodgett

Lisa, I am happy you made peace with your mom before she passed. If you need someone to talk to please call. It takes a very special person to take such loving care of their mother during such difficult times.
Love You Vonda

Lisa,

I was so sorry to hear about your Mom. No matter how much we can plan for such an event it still is so sad when it happens. May you find comfort in knowing that she is in a better place and united again with love ones long gone. Lisa if there is anything you need that we can help with please let us know.
