Dear Debbie and Family, I’m always so lax in checking my e-mail. Kim sent an e-mail to let us know about your Mom’s passing. Your family means everything to you and I know how dear your Mom is to you. I speak of your Mom in the present because I know I lost my Mom 18 years ago and I believe and feel she is with me every day. We simply can’t see them. I’ve asked my Mom to search her out and welcome her to heaven. Sorry I was unable to attend the services, but you and your family are in my prayers. May God be with you all. Love, Frannie Stone
