Kenny & Deanne & Kevin & Families-
You have my sympathy on the loss of your mother. May all her memories help heal your sorrow. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family .
My sincere sympathy at your mother’s death. We worked together for quite some time at Allen’s OB department and had much in common, primarily our farm backgrounds and children involved in high school athletics. Those were some good years and I always enjoyed her company. May the Lord bless and comfort each of you.
