    Dear Kathy and Family, Knowing how hard it is to lose a family member near and around the Holidays, we realize that sometimes messages sent nearer to those time frames make this passing a little easier. When we heard of your mother's passing, my heart went out to you as I'm only too aware of what you are feeling. Never is there a 'good' time, a 'right' time for our moms to leave us physically but I am finding out each day, that they are not gone, ever. My mom is leaving me messages and signs each day, and if my eyes & heart is open enough to accept this, I see and read and hear those messages. I feel that you, too, will and have been getting messages from your mom. We all are very sorry for your loss but she is with you, every step of the way during this difficult time and through times of laughter and tears, this will help heal the way to patching up that hole in your heart. This is a year of "firsts" for us ... so make new traditions as we are, which is helping us all along the way. I wish you all the best. With deep thoughts of understanding, God Bless you all, and again, sending you prayers for and of comfort... Kenda Newbury Paul O'Brien Shaeleigh & Colin too ... December 11, 2012

    We knew and loved Ginny as if she was our own family! We remember all the fun and laughter shared at family events and parties. Ginny had a warmth about her and was easy to talk to. Ginny had a joy for life and great love for her family, which was a sign of her great faith. She will be greatly missed, yet she will be watching over us all!
