    Dear Family.
    My heart aches for all of you and what I know you have to go through. God be with you and help you climb this big mountain of life you have to climb. Hold to Gods hand and he will help you up it. My dear cousin Nolan if you ever need to talk in the weeks and month to come, I have a very understand ear. I understand what you all are going through and what you have been through.

  8. sherry jones says:

    thank you to all who have offered your prayers, it means more than you know we all know mom is well and no longer suffering… it was unfortunately faster than anyone could expect, but it is a blessing that she is at peace. Our mother made it clear that she wanted us to “get closer and take care of each other (especially dad)” Tammy (my sis) and I have spoken extensively and we will be here. Special thanks to all of our professional health care partners who have made it possible for us to be there when mom needed us. We all know she rests in the hands of our Lord
