Guestbook

  1. To Jim and family. Condolences on your loss. Your mom was a spectacular lady in every respect. Her stamina, positive attitude, and dignified presence made me admire her. I enjoyed asking about her life growing up and as a young woman. I doubt she would have ever talked about herself unless asked because she was a modest person. But her stories were always interesting and filled with colorful history. I know she will be missed.

  2. Kathy, Sean, Sarah, & Family, so sorry for your loss. Praying Gods comfort on you all. Love you all.

    Hugs,
    Cathy

  3. For Kathy, Bruce, Sean, Sarah and family,
    Sending healing prayers to bring you comfort and peace.
    Love, Lin and Steve Buchanan/Espinoza
