Tom sorry to hear about your mom – my prayers tonight will be for her – fond memories of both your mom and dad when they where living on Beech Road – long time ago but not forgotten
Sandy is a wonderful person who will be missed by all who knew her. She was a loving daughter, dedicated wife, proud mother, caring grandmother and friend to all. No one would ever have a harsh word to say about her. I am proud that she was my mother-in-law and prouder that she is the grandmother of my daughter, Nicole. My condolences to all of the family. Love Jeannie
Michele, Melanie, Tom & Family: There are no words to express how badly we feel that our dear Sandy has left us. She was a wonderful friend, mother and grandmother. I will always cherish all the good times we had, especially when you all lived on Beech Road – the card games and just so many fun times. I know your hearts are breaking but I pray that Our Dear Lord and His Blessed Mother, to whom your mom had a special devotion, will wrap their arms around you and give you the comfort and peace you all need now and in the days to come. We all love you. If there is ever anything we can do for any of you, please do not hesitate to call on us. “Aunt Josie & Uncle Sam”
Lou,Judy and family, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. With our sincere and deepest sympathy,
We read of your loss in the local newspaper. We wanted to offer hope and encouragement, which we ourselves have found helpful in the death of close family members. Please be comforted to know that others are praying for you to have the strength to cope with your trial. May you find hope in the promised resurrection, “Your dead ones will live. … They will rise up.” (Isaiah 26:19) Jesus Christ himself said: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.”-John 5:28, 29. Confidence in the resurrection will help to ease your sorrow. As the Bible says, you will “not sorrow just as the rest also do who have no hope.” (1 Thessalonians 4:13) Rather, you will draw close to God in prayer, and the Bible promises “he himself will sustain you.”-Psalm 55:22. Please look up these scriptures in your copy of the Bible. Sincerely, The Davis Family
Sandy was a very kind woman and we all wish that she was still here. But, as some of us know she was in extreme pain before he died and some of us say that she is better off with the blessings with God and the saints. Sandy, we will miss you.
