My prayers of peace and comfort are spoken for my lifelong friends in the Dickinson family, especially Lin the recent passing of both Lewis Goodman and Sherry. May your hearts be filled with warm and loving memories. I know mine is.
Jefferson, once again may I say how sorry I am that your family is facing such losses. Both your mom and dad were always so nice to be with at our family Christmases at your grandparents’ and others’ homes. Prayers are with you.
I am so deeply sorry to hear of the death of your mother. Our prayers are with you.
