Dear Bonnie, Wanda, Mark and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a wonderful person. I KNOW IT MUST BE HARD LOSING BOTH OF YOUR PARENTS SO CLOSE TOGETHER. But it is good to know that they are with the Lord. No more pain and suffering. But its hard for us because we miss them so much. I can truly see what wonderful parents you had and what great memories you shared. I just wish I could have spent more time with them. They will be missed by the whole family. Your Family is in our prayers.
Love to All,
Phil, LInda and family
