Dear Giannina,



Although, I never had the pleasure of meeting your mom I do recall all of our conversations and it was always very clear to me that she was a loving, supportive and wonderful mother.



Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

This is an open letter to my friend-"sister" Donna. You came into my life and our families intertwined a short 28 years ago. We have cried and we have laughed , the laughing was better!! The countless holidays ,birthing of babies,PTAs,Newcomers & Neighbors,weekend get-aways ,poolside chats, shopping, shopping and more shopping. These were gifts given to us from God ! Memories that will sustain us till we are together again. Donna, there is no one that can replace you in my life, nor should there be. You have always been such a caring special forgiving force in my life and I have learned much from you. Thank you for allowing me to walk thru your last chapter with you.For allowing me to share in your grief and sorrow, I needed that. To allow me to accompany you to select your final resting place, I needed that.To allow me to comfort you while you left this place we call earth joining Jesus for everlasting peace,I needed that. And now to let go and say good bye my darling friend Donna, I needed that!I love you forever, Bobbie

Dear Dean and Family,

Know that your Mother/Wife has touched many lives in her days here on Earth. She had done the job that Our Lord put her here to do ... and done it quite well!

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God. In my Father's house are many rooms." John:14. And He has prepared a special room for this phenomenal woman. She is at home and at peace with her Creator.

His Love and Blessings be with you Always!
