We send our sympathy in the loss of your mother. We hope your mother’s life be honored by all she loved. May her memory be cherished for all she gave. And, may your hearts be comforted by all you shared. Aaron and I were very sorry to hear that your mother had passed away. She was a good neighbor and we are going to miss seeing her and talking as we meet outside. She had a beautiful smile and a very approachable personality. Just a beautiful person.
We mourn with you. A mother lost can grieve the heart, and make us look forward for tomorrow, when God will keep his promise he made of no pain, no death, and no sorrow. I hope you find comfort in she’s no longer suffering and is in God’s hands. When God will call and your mother will answer. Based on Job 14:14. We will continue to keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. If you need us we are right across the street.
Your Neighbors,
Aaron and Elreta Northrop

To the family of Aunt Hazel. Words can’t express what I am feeling at this moment. What I will say is Aunt Hazel was always the same when I saw her. I thank God I was able to know her in a special way. One thing about aunt Hazel is, If she had something to say she would say it. And you knew where she was coming from. I will always cherish the moments we spent together. So I say to you aunt Hazel rest in peace. You are truly loved.
