    Jodell & Family: We were so sorry to see that Donna had passed away. There were many good times with your family years ago…and Donna & Jerry were often there; they were so nice and welcoming whatever the occasion! 2014 has been a year for recalling memories of loved ones who are now with the Lord….and that knowledge produces peace in the midst of sadness. Your family will remain in our prayers.

    JoDell and family, I am so sorry for your great loss in the passing of your dear mother. I remember how much fun she was when we all worked together way back when. She always had a smile on her face and made us feel welcomed in her beautiful home. I know your great faith will see you thru this dark valley. Love Nancy

    Jodell, As I was looking back to view my own Mothers obituary, I found your Mother’s obituary. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you heal from a very difficult year. I have thought of you often. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted…” Psalm 34:18a. In heartfelt sympathy.
