Aaron, Rhonda, Seth, Simon and Elizabeth. I am so sorry for your loss. It’s definitely hard to lose someone you love but you know where she is resting now. Prayers for your family.
My heart is broken with the passing of Jean. We were friends for 57 years. In all of my life’s travels, I never met a more loving , kind, funny and caring woman than Jean. She is a dear friend who will be sadly missed. I love you my friend. Spread your beautiful wings.
Aaron, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Your mother was one of a kind and she doted on you and the grandchildren. Love you.
