Lisa & Randy, so sorry to hear that your Mom has passed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of loss. Chris & Lilet.
Sorry, Lisa, to hear of your Mother’s passing. Condolences to Laura and Johnathan on the loss of your grandmother.
Lisa, I’m so very sorry and am praying for you and your family during this difficult time. I have such fond memories of both or your parents during our years in Greensburg. May your Mom rest in eternal peace and may you find comfort in the grace that flows from prayers offered for you and in the memories you hold in your heart.
I can’t remember how I met Mary Alice, but I’m certain it was through Bob. I worked with him in the GED program at GCHS. She sent me a Christmas card for several years after Bob’s death. I will hold her family in prayer for comfort and peace! Prudence M
Condolences to her family. She always looked so nice. I’m glad I got to meet her. Prayers.
