Words canot express the pain from the loss of a mother. I know Kathie that you are relived to see your mother without pain and suffering and in a much better place. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May God comfort you during the coming days.
Jeff and family, So sorry to hear of your loss. May you be comforted in time in knowing that she is now “really alive and well” but in a different place. God is holding her to his chest and saying “Welcome Home Annette”!!! Bless all of you at this time.
The loss of a parent, is unbearable, Robin, Kathie, Kristie and yes even Skip – hold your mothers good years, young years, happy years within you – let them over ride the last months of your moms life because in time those memories will fade because the good memories take control and just as God has taken control to make her happy and healthy again by welcoming her to heaven’s gates. Lean on each other and please – be there for Jeff because your moms happiness was with him for all those years and he will need you all for a long time – Jeff, our hearts go out to you and know you are in the beginning of starting a new chapter in life but Aunt Annette will forever be with you at all times. The love of a husband and wife doesn’t change because one has passed – if anything it will be stronger and you will regain strength and be able to take it day by day. Very sorry that Aunt Annette has passed she will be missed so very much.
Robin,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mom was a very sweet lady. Although it has been many years since I saw her last I have never forgotten how she made me feel like one of the family. Again you have my deepest sympathy.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. It’s never easy to lose a parent even when it may have been expected. You will always have the memories of your mom so she will live forever in your hearts and minds. Robin, I love you with all my heart and I’m so sorry for your loss.
My condolences to Annette’s family. I worked with Annette years ago and she was such a dear, sweet, and funny person. She was truly a delight to know and work with. I pray you will all be comforted with many wonderful memories of this loving lady that had such a zest for life. God bless.
To All of Annettes Family,
May God show his grace upon each of you at this difficult time.
Annette was such a gentle soul never saying anything bad about anyone. She loved her family very much and would do anything for anyone. Please know she is at peace and has a renewed body , mind and spirit. She is in Heaven with those that have passed on before her waiting for those others to meet her someday.Prayers for you all for Gods healing today and always, Mary
Jesus wept when he heard of his friends death. He is very familiar with our grief and pain when we lose one who we love so dearly. My family and I are praying for you.. that the Lord will comfort you in your grief, give you peace in your hearts and strength to continue living each day.
I will always remember our fun visits, shared meals and laughter and the trip to OK. God Bless you and your family.
