My deepest sympathy to the family. Lillian and I went to school together. I have great memories of the time we spent together. "Eye has not seen, ear has not heard what God has in mind for those who love Him. I Cor. 2:9. God bless the whole family. Love, Martha
We are very sorry for your loss. We hope you find comfort with family and friends during this time.
Grams is going to be missed by many. She was an amazing woman and I always considered her a grandma to me as well. She was so loving and always had a smile on her face. My last memory of her was playing dominoes with family and she won almost every round. She gave me one of the greatest gifts I could have asked for and that was raising a great woman who is now an amazing aunt (Bert) to me and I’ll forever be thankful for that.
