We are all saddened by the emptiness you and your family are feeling with your Mother leaving this earthly life, but be assured that she is looking down on all her children and grandchildren and that she is at peace with her new heavenly body free from pain and suffering. We all feel the heaviness on our hearts along with you and your family. What a glorious service and tribute to your Mother and her life! It was truly a "celebration of her life."

To Steven Wingfield,
I am so sorry that I forgot you on the salutation. ( Senior Moment). I knew I was forgetting someone but I thought it was Sean so I just added him and forgot you. Again I am so sorry for your loss. I still don't know how I could have forgotten you!!!! God Bless you and Sally and Kids!!!!!

This is a memorial to the family of Sandy McDivitt. She was always very kind to me. I have known her for many years and have thought about her often. I never went to see her as much as I should have. It seems like I put things off and then regret it later. I remember playing Scrabble with her many years ago and how she laughed when David (my husband) would put down a word that really wasn't a word. We had some good times together. I know she is with the Lord and I will miss her very much. My condolences to the family.

To Mark, Mike, Sonya, Darcy & Sean
I am so sorry for your loss, as well as mine. As you know your mother and I have been friends for 50 yrs. When she was my neighbor she mentored me when she was the ripe old age of 18 and I was 11. We established a friendship that lasted a lifetime even though we did not see each other on a regular basis. I loved her like a sister and will never forget her. I was around a lot when you kids were born and as you were growing up, and I know that you recieved a wonderful christian foundation, please follow through with that, and choose to Serve the Lord, you will never regret it. Love you all, and you are in my Prayers.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I never got the chance to meet her but I can tell she must have been a wonderful lady. She did a good job of raising her children. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace.
