I enjoyed knowing your mother from her membership at Trinity. My deepest sympathy to you.
God be with you, and may He comfort you in your loss.
Diane always made me laugh.
It was great to remember Diane from my childhood. We lived across the street and down a couple of houses.
She was the same age as Kay, my sister.
I also ran into Randy. He married a girl I knew from church.
So sorry for your loss.
