Our prayers are with all of you. She was a sweet Lady. I have good memories of her and all of you. Love to you all.
Sending our love to you all
So very sorry for your loss Linda and family. May God Bless and be with you at this difficult time.
Sorry for this loss to our very close friends The Cunningham’s . May God comfort you during this time. The Vetromile’s
My Dearest only Cousin Linda, You have been an amazing, supportive daughter for your Mom all your life. We are saddened by the loss you must bear and you are in our prayers for His comfort and peace. Because our family is thankful that Aunt Ruth and Uncle Del spent several years living with our Grandma Anna nearby in Tacoma, Washington, I am especially saddened at the loss of my only Aunt. The special bond Ruth and her sister Adele (my mother) modeled before my brother and myself blessed our brotherly relationship. As sisters in Christ, we are comforted that they are both now with Jesus.
