Wayne and Mark and family, I am so very sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. It was so wonderful to have her back at church until Covid prevented it. She always had that bright pretty smile on her face.
I always admired her talent with flowers and gardening. She was dedicated to providing beautiful arrangements for the church every Sunday when she was able. Prayers for you all.

Wayne and Mark and families, I’m sorry for the loss of your Mother. My grandmother Elizabeth Godfrey, my Mom Betty Page, and I always loved her beautiful flower arrangements for church. She was so talented and such a sweet generous person to share her gift with others.

So sorry for your loss, she was such a good friend. She was always so kind and taught me to arrange flowers and I will always remember all the years that she did the flowers for Primrose church. She also did the flowers for my mom’s service. I will miss her.
