To Bob and Tim;

I never knew your Mom, except through knowing you. That alone was enough to say she was a wonderful, loving, and compassionate person. I lost my father a year and a half ago, and my mother is kinda day by day. I can understand some of your emotions at this time.

We have so much to be thankful for in our parents, and I know you feel that way.

My thoughts and prayers are extended to you and your great family at this time.

Respectfully;
Jimbo Woods

Tommy,Karen,Bobby,Timmy,and Roger, All the years I spent with your Mother were so very enjoyable. I am very sad to loose such a great friend. Maryjane and I had some really great times just being together. We laughed and even cried over such silly things.
We told each other our deepest secrets and thoughts that stayed between us. Maryjane was a very sweet Lady. I am so happy she was a part of my life for the last 24 years. God Bless all of you. Although the last couple of years were a struggle with her health,She was a Mother all of you can be proud of.

To the Family: My Husband and I would like to express our deepest sympathy for your loss. It is so difficult to lose someone we love. What helped me when I lost my dear father and brother was reflecting on God's word. God did not intend for us to deal with the pain of loosing our loved ones. Job understood this when he wrote, "For there exists hope for even a tree. If it gets cut down, it will even sprout again. And its own twig will not cease to be." (Job 14:7) If God feels this way about a tree, how much more so does He feel about our loved ones. Therefore, He has made a provision for them. Jesus said at John 5:28, 29 " Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out..." During this time, we have the hope of seeing our loved ones again. God's word has brought us comfort during difficult times and we sincerely hope this note will bring a measure of comfort and hope to your family.
