Karen please accept our condolences in the loss of your mother. I know they were proud of you. We ate a lot of their donuts which we thought were the "best". Your parents were good hard working people. You were blessed to have them with you for so many years. May God bless you in your grief.

People disappear but they really don't go away, they just go back to their real home to be with their
Loving Father, and to be reunited with their family and friends who went before them. We will miss our sweet sister-in-law, her smile, her good nature and her weekly phone calls to say hello when she and Jim went to town for supplies. She is happy now and she can actually see for the first time in many years. We offer our sympathies to her family and friends who are left behind. Someday, we will all be together again in a more perfect place.

The world lost a caring grandmother and mother, but heaven gained a new angel. She is in a better place now where her sight will be restored, her pain will be relieved, and her strength will be beyond what it ever was.

I will miss her greatly, but take solace knowing that she is watching over us now.

A mother isn't always by birth
True vision doesn't always require sight
Strength isn't always physical
You were honored, respected, cherished,
And you will be missed.

We are so saddened for your loss of a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Jesus said, “blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted (Matthew 5:4). As her neighbor, Ms. Frances was our Arkansas Mother and a woman pure as a freshly driven snow. Jesus said, “blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see GOD” (Matthew 5:8).
