My mom was a wonderful listener. I will miss her listening to me with no judgement or Bias. Love you dearly mom. Hope you have that garden going.
I have such sweet memories of Deanna & Chuck when they attended West Ridge Freewill several years ago, before they moved to Harrison. Deanna always had a smile and good word for everyone. I know you will be miss her terribly. God comfort and give you peace during this time and in the days to come.
I’m so sorry about your mom I know how much you all loved her and how much you are going to miss that wonderful lady. She sure had her share of suffering these last couple of years. I’m glad she will have no more pain but very sad that I won’t get to talk with her anymore. I can’t say enough good about her, such a humble, loving person. She always managed to find something good in everyone no matter what! I loved that woman and I’m going to miss her a bunch, I’m so glad that I got to spend some time with her this summer.
All of us at Haas Hall are so very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We love you Miss Janet
So sorry to hear of Deanna’s death. She was a real friend. We knew her at church in Berryville. I tried to contact her just days before she died.
