Ron and family, I’m sorry for the loss of your mom. Ironically, she and my mom went to the same high school and your mom graduated one year ahead of mine. Bet they’re having a class reunion now! Praying for the days, weeks, months and years to come.
Ron, Sarah, Matt and all of the family,
I vaguely remember your mother from when we were small all living close to the Alliance church. She must have been one remarkable woman to have raised such fine children who grew up to be such well respected men and women.
Matt, I know you will miss your Grandmother very much. Just know how very sorry I am for the loss of someone you all held so dear.
