Nancy & Don, I just saw Chris’ picture on the Funeral home post. I was so sorry to see that she’d passed away. I’m sure she’s happy to be free of all these daily worries and is praising the Lord with Alice and your dad. It seems forever that we’ve seen you all. Donna said she and I will try our best to be at the funeral next week. God bless you and your family real good during this time.
