    Lori it’s one of our greatest heartaches to lose our Mamas. It’s because they loved us so much. Praying for you and your family.

    Curt, Tim, Lisa,
    I’m so thankful that I had an aunt like your mom. I remember all of us going to church together when we were kids. I also remember going to your house for family get-togethers. These were times of joy and laughter that I won’t forget. Your family has had a huge positive impact on my life. Your mom and dad were always a stable example of living the Faith to me, and I draw on those memories often. When I was baptized in a farm pond in 1977, your mom and dad were there. When I made choices that were unpleasing to God, I not only feared His wrath administered through my parents, I also often thought about how disappointed your folks would be if they found out.Though time and life has created distance on a map, I’ll hold the fond memories closely.

    I pray for comfort for you and your families during this time of aunt Phyllis’ homegoing. She will be sorely missed until we see her again.

    I’m very sorry that I’m not able to be there with you today. Please know that you are on my mind and heart.

    Love,
    Larry
