Dear Robin and family-
My sisters and I are so sorry for your loss. Your mom meant alot to us. She knew that our mom was slipping rapidly into dementia and how hard this journey would be for us. She gave us articles to read and talked to us about her husbands death. She said it's a heart breaking situation. She was right. We will miss her. I hope you and your family are doing OK. Take care - Susan Darlene's daughter.##imported-begin##Susan Colby##imported-end##
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I thought Auntie Jean was SO cool and loved hearing her laugh. I have many great memories of the times our families were all together.##imported-begin##Barbara Nelson Mertes##imported-end##
I am so sad to hear of the passing of Jean - my girls Stephanie and Melissa{Adams}always referred to her as 'Grandma Jeannie' since she was so involved in their pre-school years. She was a wonderfully kind lady who was always a source of encouragement to me. Thank you for sharing her with us! With love...##imported-begin##Heidi Ralls##imported-end##
Dear family,
I heard about your momma today, I am so sorry ..It is hard losing a mother.
I have fond memories, as a young girl, going to your mommas country house and having Thanksgiving dinner with the family and hearing all the women in the family laughing and visiting.
My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Love Debbie Lloyd and Dolores middle daughter##imported-begin##Debbie Wilbanks##imported-end##
