Doug. So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Mom's can't be replaced and you will think about her daily. I know I lost my several years ago and I still miss her. Think on the good times

Although, I have never met Mrs. Violet, I am sure she's as sweet as her daughter Kelli, she will be deeply missed by friends and family. Paula and I met Kelli, first time for my wife to meet Brian just recently, and we hit it off like we'd been friends from eternity. When I think of the loss of a child, it reminds me that one day we become like children again as we age. The Lord Jesus has a special place under his arm for his children. Mrs Violet, may you forever rest in the presence of the Lord. One day time will be no more, and all that desire him, will be in is comfort forever. God Bless you Kelli and Brian. We love you guys. May the prince of peace keep you close in this difficult time. May the love of Jesus stay with you thoughout your life's journey; he's the lover of our souls. love from: Mike & Paula
