Jennifer, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. There are never the right words or even the words you want to hear – but I wanted you to know – I will be thinking about you and all your family.
I am so sorry to hear about Sue. She was one of the bridesmaids in my wedding in 1969 and a good friend of my family during our high school years. She was such a sweet person. Prayers for her family.
Blessings to all of you during this time of mourning your loss and celebrating her homecoming. Many good memories were made with Leilani and your sweet family.
The news of Sue’s passing came as quite a shock. We grew up a block apart and graduated high school together . I spent many happy times with her and her family. She tried to teach me to dance but I just couldn’t get the hang of it. Such a kind hearted person. So many good memories.
Jennifer, Michael, Barbara, and family. We know this is such a difficult time and we send our deepest condolences. Our hearts go out to all of you. We pray for peace and comfort to be upon you now and in the days ahead.
Jennifer,
I’m so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was such a sweet lady. Losing a Mom is so painful. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I love you my sweet, special and very dear friend.
Jennifer,
My heart is heavy and full of memories of Sue and you girls as you were growing up together and all the fun times we had together. Your mom was a special lady and will be greatly missed by so many. I am so grateful to know that she is with the Lord today. All our love–Gene and Louine Adams
I knew Sue from Connally High School. She was so nice to me as a Freshman in her Senior year. Condolences to the family of Sue. I know Heaven had an angel to enter into their doors.
So sorry to hear of Sue’s passing. Sue, Buddy and the kids used to live across the street from us on West Craven. Such a nice lady. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
God Bless.
