Baylie, Quinn and Dave,
So many losses in such a short time, my thoughts and prayers are with you all!!
May God grant you comfort and peace during this time in your lives!!
Everyone that worked with your mom would be there in a moment's notice. All you have to do is call and ask. Everyone here loved your mom so much and enjoyed spending time with you when she brought you to the movies and dinner after. You have a multitude of friends to add to your family that will be with you in your future!!! In Christ's Love, Dawn Johnson
