Dear Gail and David, so sorry to hear of Aunt Velda's passing. God bless you all at this difficult time. We have so many wonderful memories of the times we spent at your house, of her being one of our Brownie and Girl Scout leaders, taking us to 4H camp, going to Sigourney with you and on and on. She was a lovely woman and we'll always remember her smile. May your memories sustain you and God give you comfort and strength.
Love Always,
CIndy and Rick

Dear Gail and Family,
The loss of a parent is never easy. Your mom was a wonderful, dear lady and loved by so many. Words can never heal the hurt you are feeling but knowing you have the love of family and friends will ease your sorrow. God will lift you up in the coming days and weeks. His love will get you through.
All Our Love,
Rex, Robin & Family
