    Gina,
    Losing your mother is one of the deepest pains you will ever feel. However, God makes it easier to bear when you trust him to lighten the load. My prayers are with you and your family. I am here if you need to talk at any time.
    Prayfully yours,

    Mrs. McCreary was one of the nicest neighbor I knew. My mom and I visited her all the time. We always talked about Nursing School and she really believed in me. She loved talking to my mom and she called my mom her another daughter. That was very special to my mom. She will be deeply missed but GOD took her from us because he needed her most. To the family, our thoughts and prayers goes out to her children.

    My Dear Friend Gina,

    I didn’t know your mom very well, but the times that I did get to see her, were times of joy. I will remember her dancing at your wedding reception and how very happy she was and what a good dancer she was. She put the young people to shame.

    Please know that I am here for you. My prayers are with you and your family.

    Love,
    Kathy

    Auntie Bobbie Jean was a jewel. My heart and prayers go out to her family. When her brother my step-father left this life she was so instrumental in helping us get through it. I pray that you hold on to God’s on changing hands so you too can remember the wonderful times you shared with your mom, grandmother etc. She loved you all very much and spoke about you often.

    Much Love,
    Renee Reed
    (Jean’s daughter)
