Kim & Eric,
Please accept our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. She is singing with the Angels now.
It is the hardest thing I have ever had to accept. I lost my mother in 2011, and like myself, you will always feel like she is still with you. Which is a wonderful feeling. ???
We bought the house beside your mom & dad in 1993 from the Hollands. Annanoa was then the age of our youngest grandchild today. My, how time flies.
Keep your Hearts full of LOVE

May you find comfort in your cherished memories and in knowing that God is close to the brokenhearted. (Psalms 34:18) Our sincere sympathy to all of you.
Claire ajospitre says
I genuinely regret your loss. No one better than God, understands the depth of your pain and can help you cope with your disquieting thoughts. He is called the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort and he cares for you. The Bible describes a time in the future when mankind will not be subject to criminals, violence, accidents, sickness, and death. Jehovah God promised that soon, he will wipe out every tear from our eyes, death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. (Psalm 37:29; Revelation 21:4) Until that day comes, I hope that in due time you receive God’s peace that excels all thought, so that it will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.
Rebecca Swartz says

I have been searching for Cassandra “Sissy” Shive for years. She was my best friend when we were young. Sissy even lived with us for a couple of months when we were in 1st grade in Bishopville, SC. When they moved to NC, I lost her. I am devastated to find her too late. So sad. I am in Kings Mtn, NC. MaryWade O’Kelley Smith. 1/25/2025
