Lesia and family. So sorry to hear of your mothers passing. Keep the happy, fun, and funny thoughts close to you they will be the ones you will always cherish. Your mom would want you to remember her that way. My thoughts are with you and your family. Jimmy Baker
I am very sorry for your loss. Something that has helped me in difficult times like these is what is found at Psalms 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength,
A help that is readily found in times of distress."
Aunt Doris was also a cherished Aunt to me and all my brothers and sisters..Just a mention of her name brought smiles, followed by stories,followed by laughter,we loved her so very much. We were blessed to have her and Uncle Jack in our lives as we grew up. We, Mother, Don and I send our love and prayers to you all, God has gathered the family home. what a rejoicing that must be
May God 's angels wrap their comforting wings around each of you for healing.
