Our thoughts are with the Motta family. In Psalms 37:29 we read the meek will possess the earth and dwell therein forever.
Sandy, John, Sherry, Jeff & Sylvia,
Our deepest sympathy on your Mom’s passing. She will be greatly missed but so fondly remembered for her gentleness and love of family. You couldn’t help but feel welcomed and embraced when you were with her. I’m so glad I was able to visit with her only a short time ago. She spoke with such love and pride about all of you and all of her grandchildren. Such grace, even with her health problems. May she be at peace and in the company of your Dad and others who have gone before.
Our love to you all.
Donna, Dan & Family
Sherry,
Please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of your beloved mother. May happier memories sustain you during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers from our family are with you now. I have so many great memories of your mother and how she always welcomed me to into your home and made me feel like family. I am sure you will miss her greatly but are comforted by the fact she is at peace and with your Dad and Crystal, and others she has loved.
Our deepest sympathy at the loss of your precious Mother and Grandmother.
Sylvia was always so wonderful to us and we have fond memories that we will cherish. I know her family was so very special to her. Our hearts are there with you even though we cannot be. With love and prayers
Dave & Joy

It was obvious that She loves all of you very much. May you cherish your memories and have peace in your hearts. Fondly, Sharon
