So sorry for your loss. We are sending lots of love and prayers for today and all the days ahead.
Jane, you were one of my best friends in various stages in life. You were such an important role model to me. I never knew meeting you in our church nursery that you would be such an important person to me. I’ll treasure my memories forever. You will be missed and loved forever.
Mrs Davis was one of my favorite teachers but she also became family. I will cherish all the beautiful memories we had together.
From a fellow Hillcrest High School 1973 alum, Godspeed and condolences to her family.
Phillip I’m so sorry to hear about your wife. Knowing she was a Christian is fantastic. She is in her mansion free from pain and having a marvelous time.
