Visitation
Very sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with the family.
I grew up in Sardis WV and my husband grew up in Wilsonburg WV. Thoughts and prayers for her family May she rest in eternal peace.
Helen, Donny, Caroline, Nichole, sorry for your loss. Prayers and hugs
Aunt Mary, Your love and caring soul will be missed by all your loved ones. My heart is broken because I love you so very much, but God has left me with comfort in knowing you accepted his love and forgiveness 21 years ago. I will see you again in the place you now reside. I will try to remember you only changed your address until we are together again. My dear cousins, take comfort in knowing the above and that your Mom is seeing more beauty than we can ever imagine. I love you all.
God loves you and will give you comfort.
…and they will call her blessed.
