I was saddened to hear from Diane that Dodie had passed away. I had talked to her before I went to Orlando and she wanted me to call her and tell her about my trip when I returned.
I send prayers and love to you all! She and my Mom Grace are together now going out to eat and to all the craft shows.
God’s Blessings to you all!

It is so hard to say good-bye to a dear mother. We hope you can rejoice, though, remembering all the good times and treasuring each and every moment. She gave you many valuable gifts in life and those will always live in your heart. Thank God the Easter promise assures us that death is not the final word.May love surround you, May faith sustain you, may hope encourage you.

I will never forget your mother and dad and you kids. When we were young and the picnics at the parks those were the days. I called your mother back in April to get Buddy’s phone number and I talked to her for at least a half hour or an hour and she sounded the same as she did 45 years ago her mind was perfect. Those were the days. Some day you will all be together again in Heaven and you know she will be waiting for you with open arms. May God comfort you during this very difficult time.
Love, Jim
