Val, Karen,,Tammy
Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. She was the sweetest person we ever knew. She will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace. Thinking of you all!
My dear friend Karen,
I am saddened by the news of your mother’s passing. I am thankful that I was granted the opportunity to meet her at a breakfast get-together prior to you leaving Saint Louis. She was truly kind and a joy to speak with during our short visit.
I pray for you and your family to be at peace as you bravely move ahead with your lives. I know that she took a piece of each of your hearts with her. I also know that that she has been met in Heaven by so very many family and friends. She will be surrounded in a circle of love there, just as she was while on this earth. May that thought give you some peace.
As always, my love and prayers are with you.
Lorrie
