Dear Stephanie, Kendall, & family: I am so sorry for your loss. The pain of losing your mother will never go away but the sweet memories will last forever. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
I’m sorry for your loss. I remember fondly our first grade at Chikaskia Valley School southeast of Blackwell. There were just three of us that class. Of course, we were classmates all through school. So glad to know she was a blessing to her family.
We are so very sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with your family. May God give you peace & comfort.
Dwight, Janice and I are so sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort grant you His peace, love, and hope. Rest in the knowledge that Mary is in the presence of the Father where there is no more pain or tears or grief. We are praying for you.
Kristi, I’m so sorry that you have lost your mother. I did not know her however, if she was anything like you she was an amazing woman. I know this is a very difficult time for you and your family and I’ll be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers as you progress on without your Mom. Much love my friend.
