Sorry for your loss
Pam- I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Please know that I am thinking about you and praying for you and your family. I know how hard it is to lose a parent and I pray that you find peace in the knowledge that your mom has found eternal happiness. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Love you, Krista Ross
Love for Stella
Dear Pam, Trisha and family,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Stella. She was a sweet, strong lady and I am just sorry she did not live to see the first woman president elected in November. She was such a great supporter when I ran for office and I can still remember her, along with the other white-gloved moms, at the PTA events. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family.
Love, Kathy & Jeff Groob
