May your trust in God’s great mercy which He showers from above,
Bring you peace, hope, and strength, for the loss of one you love.
I am the Resurrection and the Life; Whoever believes in Me, even if he dies, will live,
and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.”

David, we trust you will read this. I. Paul did not really know your mother, but I understand that she voluntered at the Fulton, where we usher. I am sure you will miss your mother very much. She must have been a very fine person. But I am sure she has prepared you for this day. We certainly do pray for you as you grieve her being ushered into the beyond. WE trust that it is just a temporary abscence and you will be with her eternally.
Love, Paul & Lisa Buckwalter

Dear James, Curtis and David,
I doubt you will remember me. I worked with your father and was a neighbor on State Street or over 30 years. Your mother was such a gracious lady and always thoughtful of others. I send you my thoughts and prayers during your period of grief. Losing a mother is a difficult experience. I hope you will support each other.
