Susan, Bill, your families,
I have wondered these last years how your mom Was doing, especially when driving by the house. I always enjoyed the too few conversations with her. The love of Christ definitely shone through. Hugs and prayers.

We are saddened to hear of your loss Susan. Your mother was a bright light in the neighborhood! I was always amazed at how positive she was and how active she stayed. I still remember her coming across the street with her walker on a cold winter day to deliver some of her delicious bread. She wanted us to feel welcome in the neighborhood and we did!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. With sympathy, Rhonda & Randy

I want to share a story....my first name is Penny and over the years when I´ve seen your concrete mix trucks around & about I would always try to capture a picture since we shared the same name. I came on to the obits page looking for a neighbor who has recently deceased and perchanced upon your mothers´. I would love to see a picture of her after all these years of playing `same name´ with the trucks. I loved the pink lipstick kisses memory. I´m comforted knowing she´s spending eternity with Jesus, I´ll meet her someday! Blessings to each of you!

We are so sorry for your loss. We had the pleasure of meeting your parents on their trip to Uganda many, many years ago. We have such fond memories of their visit and getting to know them. We pray for God's comfort at this time.
