Toni and family, my sincerest condolences from me and from your “family” at CIGNA. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
Kim and Mark, My sympathies to you both. We’ve all grown up and moved on, but us Marland Heighters always stick together. Your mom was a very nice, generous and thoughtful person. I’m sure she is in a better place now, one in which we will all be reunited with our loved ones someday. It is called Paradise. God Bless.
Kim & Mark…I was sorry to hear about your mom…everytime I walk by your house I remember all the fun we had in the sandbox in the back yard. You are both in my thoughts and prayers!

When i think of your mom i think of those delicious carmels she use to make man they were the best!!! She was a wonderful person who always seem full of life. Mark the one time we ran into her in Richmond she ran out to the car so she could show tons of pictures of your son she was a proud Grandma!!! My prayers are with you both and i hope she’s already got to give Alicia a big hug!! Love, Stephanie Ballas-Abdalla

Kim, Mark and Family, My mother wanted me to pass along her condolences and tell you that she is sorry she cannot be there. Please know that Tina is in all of our thoughts and we are praying for your family.
Kim and Mark, it is difficult to express just how special your mom was and how privileged I feel to have been a part of her life. I remember growing up I loved coming to your house – your mother always welcomed me with open arms, as if I was one of her own. For that I will always be grateful. And for some reason right now I’m having a craving for Snickerdoodles! Kim, I’m having a hard time with the fact that I can’t be there to see you and help you through this tough time, but please know that you, all of you, are in my thoughts and prayers. Let’s get/stay in touch. Tina, you hold a special place in my heart. I am honored to have been a part of your life. I will miss you. Kristin
