Glenn,
I am sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. Looks like she lived a long life, but it is hard to lose your mother.
Prayefs forryou and Katie and family. Love, Dorothy
So sorry to hear about your Momma’s passing. Praying for the Lord’s comfort for your family.
I like to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. It was never God’s intent that death should rule over mankind. – Romans 5:12; 1Corinthians 15:26, 55; He will do away with it and He has provided hope-as stated at John 5:28, 29. During this most painful time please find comfort from the scriptures.
My condolences to you Hughie and the family in the loss of your Mother.
May God be with you at this time of need
Nancy sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

“Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal and Love leaves a memory that no one can steal”. My deepest sympathy to you all. God Bless.
Coleman family, I’m sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I will always remember her grace, her gentle laughter, and how she always made everyone feel at home. Being a part of the Raymore 4-H club was a special part of my childhood and you four and your parents are a huge part of that. Prayers and blessings for all of you.
Sandy
