Dear Lynne, Kevin, Kate, and Kevin,

How blessed you have been to have such a wonderful woman as mother, mother-in-law, and grandma.

Her smile and sparkle lit every room and made each person she encountered feel welcomed. How proud she was of each of you and your accomplishments!

We've been told endless times as we've listen to the Gospels that we have to let our light shine. She truly is a model for us all as her light will continue to shine through our memories.

Love,

Cyndi and George Williams and family

May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow

May the soft winds freshen your spirit

May the sunshine brighten your heart

May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you

And may God enfold you in the mantle of His love... An Old Irish Wish



Many thoughts and prayers are with you today,

Jeff and Angela

Dear Fleming Family,

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Fleming. I was a highschool friend of Flem (Jim Jr.) and I remember her as a very loving and strong mom. It always amazed me that when Flem died, she was so wonderful and caring to all of his friends, even to go as far as to let us plan his mass. I will never forget her selflessness. My prayers are with you all for you have lost a gem, but Flem has got his beloved mom back.

much love,

Denise Enright
