Sharon, So sorry to read of your mother’s passing. Our prayers are with you at this difficult time.
You are in our prayers, we are sorry for your loss.
Les,Sharon, Roberta,
I just heard the news of your mothers passing. She was an excellent mama, and truly treated me like her own son. I remember how she opened her heart and her home to me…many years ago. What good times we all shared at the home in Crestline and on the farm. My prayers are and will always be with all of you.
