Cheryl,and family.My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time,I"m still going through my loss of my daddy,who will be gone 6 months Saturday the 25th,I can"t tell you its easy,because it is"nt but you will have good days and bad days,but you also will have all the memories,to think back on.But as I know my dad is"nt suffering anymore,and I"m sure he is talking about gardening,and he is probally gardening up in heaven right now,at least thats what my 4 year old little grandson saids about papa George.Wish I could be there,but I"m still finding it hard to go into Lairds right now,I hope you understand.Because I know soon I will have to face it with my mama,who means everything to me! She"ll be 92 Feb.14th,if she lives that long,She keeps talking about wanting to go ahead and die,because she just buried her only brother on August 4th,she could"nt go,it was only a graveside service,his name was Ira.M.Abbott Sr.She had 3 brothers,and she was the oldest and only girl,and the only one left.She is my life!!!! But our prayers are with all of you,and I"m thinking of you.
Love,Shirley Jamison Chandler
