Dear family,
I am extending my heartfelt sympathy to each of you. I enjoyed so very many years with Joel and Johnny. They did so much for the Lord while serving at Milford Hills. I will really miss her! May God continue to bless you during this very sad time.
Much Love,

Hi Melinda, Lee and family,
I was so sorry to hear about your mother. She was my first boss. I learned so much from her and have the best memories. I always enjoyed going to your house. Your Mom was a sweet, caring woman. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Betty Lou
