John, I was very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I know when my mother passed it took a long time to come to terms with things and to get through the grieving process. I'm sure you can take comfort in knowing your mom is home where she belongs, and is healed and happy. I pray God's blessings on you through this difficult time.
Love to you and Jo Carol and Isaac,
Norine

I was so saddened when I read online in the Logan Banner about Madeline's passing. She was such a great friend to my mother, Wilma Rayburn her neighbor for so many years. She was a tremendous support to me during my mother's illness and death. It is so strange because just yesterday I was thinking about her and wondering how she was knowing that she must miss my mother. How ironic. Somehow God directed me to the website and made me aware that He had taken her. She worked in Man at the same time and that's how we got acquainted. Coincidentally, I later found out she was my mother's neighbor. I know she was a dedicated Christian and she has been taken Home. I wish that I had just had one more conversation with her. I offer to the family my deepest sympathy and love. Please call on me if I can do anything for any of you. Sincerely, Sharon (Rayburn) Summers.

Dear Virgil, John and Nina,
Just wanted you to know that you're in my prayers during this time and I wanted to say that Madeline was an inspiration to me growing up. No matter what the situation, she showed more class than any woman I can think of. She was a gem. Hold on to God's promises and He will be with you and guide you through this. Love and prayers, Bobbi

John, I never knew your mother, but having lost my father some years ago I understand the hole her loss will leave in your life.
Remember this: God will never put any burden on you that you cannot bear. Though you might doubt yourself, God does not doubt you. Also remember that, in time, the circle will be unbroken and you will be with your mother again.
Our prayers in Martinsburg are with you, your father and your family.

John,
I keep thinking I probably spoke to you an hour or so before the accident happened and I keep going back to some of the scriptures that you've shared with me and how you've tried to uplift me during my difficult time. Please know that I'm praying for you and your family. God's presence is with you.......you're not alone. May you find peace through the family memories you shared of times together. Sending you the comfort of God's love as He holds you and your family in the palm of His hand. God bless you, Joan Wilson
