Keith,I'm so sorry for your loss. As believers we know that God does not make mistakes, in our flesh we ask , Why? But we also ask God to change our hearts and help us begin thanking him for sharing in the the time alloted. I know you loved "Momma" but God loved her more. Rejoice that she will never experience anymore pain.May God replace your sorrow with fond thoughts and memories of the time you shared. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Sincerely,
Marnieese

Dear Paula,
Although you have been with our group for just a short while, it didn't take long to know how close you have been to your sister Tammy.
I, too, can appreciate the the heartbreaking loss of a sibling, especially that of a sister.
Please know that you and your family are in my heart, thoughts and prayers now, and in the months to come.
God bless,

Dear Paula,
Please accept my sincere condolences during this time. Tammy was a wonderful person and I enjoyed getting to know her first through your family stories and later as she worked as an LPN. She really was a compassionate person and that was most evident in the care she provided her patients. She will be missed by those whose lives she touched.
Sincerely, Donna

May your happy times and the love Tammy shared with her family be remembered. It is hard to let her go be with the lord, but now she has no pain. Keith we go way back since we were kids and I know Tammy loved you so much. You were her life. I know you miss your mom and now Tammy. But your friends are here for you. For months now I have been praying and thinking of you all. Bless you all!

Keith, I did not have the opportunity to meet your Momma in person, but I feel honored to have known her through the stories you shared. The emmense love you show for her speaks volumes. My prayers continue to be with you and your family. I hope that you are able to find an inner peace in the memories you have with her.

I am so sorry for your loss. My mom passed away from lung cancer the day after Thanksgiving. I know how hard it is. I hope Tammy is at peace now and well in Heaven with God. All her pain is gone. Knowing this will help through the rough days ahead.
Bless all of you,
