My sincere condolences to the family. May the God of all comfort give you the comfort you need to endure this difficult time and the days ahead (2 Corinthians 1:3,4)
We are praying for your family during your time of loss.
Flinn and Lou,
David and I are sorry to hear of your Mother’s death, and wish we could be there today to express our condolences personally to you, as well as to Mrs. King and to Mott.
We will be thinking of you during the days ahead.
My condolences to the Rogers family. I know this is a difficult time for the family and I pray God comforts and strengthens the family during this time of bereavement. May the many cherished and fond memories of Nell comfort her family and friends. A comforting thought to keep in mind is at Psalm 147:3 “He (GOD) heals the brokenhearted; he binds up their wounds.” May you all have peace of mind during this time.
I would like to express my condolences to you and your family. Losing a loving in death is hard to cope with but I found encouragement from the Bible at Acts 24:15 “There going to be a resurrection.” That a loving promise from Jehovah God we are going to see our dead love again.

I’m so sorry to hear about your Mom. I just have wonderful memories of her and what a great friend she was to my Mama!!
