Deepest sympathy. Praying God’s arms will wrap around y’all during this time. She was wonderful person. She’s now with our other family members resting in God’s arms. I’ll be unable to attend the funeral but I’ll be with y’all in my thoughts
I am sorry lee for the passing of Linda .she was very sweet lady and a good friend I know we have not seen each other for a long time .praying for you and your family.
Mom, you will always be loved and missed. The hugs you gave freely and tightly can’t ever be replaced. You called me your daughter and treated me like one. You were there when I lost my mother and if we could tell you anything, it would be “don’t worry about us for we will join you in heaven again someday. We’ll watch out for Dad and Sister, too. Rest in peace until the great reunion day. I loved you so much and thank you for Sheldon, he’s a real man because of your love as a mother!”
Viola and Sheldon,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your sweet mom. Please know that she is in the most beautiful place and that this is not goodbye, but see you later. I pray that God gives you peace and comfort during this time.
Our deepest condolences to the family ! Many prayers for you all !
I will miss this sweet woman dearly. I could not have asked for a better mother or role model.
May Aunt Pickey rest in peace..Always loved her….prayers for the family…
