Wanda, Terry & Lynne,
I was searching the internet for genealogy information when I stumbled across your mother’s obituary. My heart goes out to all 3 of you – I know y’all miss her so very much.
I can remember coming to visit the family and riding that horse for hours! I always had a blast when our families visited!
I will keep all of you and your families in my thoughts and prayers –
your cousin,
Cheryl Fudge Johnson
this was my aunt…sarahs daughter, and my sister and I was wondering how blanche passed away,
My wonderful mother, my friend. I know you’re in a better place but life just seems unbearable without. I miss you so much, I love you with all my heart. We’ll be together again one day.
My dear sweet mother I will miss you until we meet again I
know you are at peace now I will love you now and when we meet again Terry
Mamma I love and miss you so much.I know you are in heaven now a much better place than us God took his angel home but I sure miss you.
So sorry for your loss Lynn, I never met your mother but I know she was very special, she is in Heaven now, no more pain, I will be praying for the days ahead to get better for you… love, Bridget
I am so sad…she was like a Mama to me, too…it’s no coincidence we shared the same middle name and birthday, it was the design that God created for us. I will miss her sweet smile and personality. I will always be here for you, Lynne, if you need to talk or a shoulder to cry on. “A human life is a story told by God”. ~Hans Christian Andersen
Love you,
