Linda, so sorry to hear about your mother.
Sorry to hear about your Mother. Look to the Lord for comfort!!
I was privileged to work with Dewey & Clara for many years. They were good folks that opened their home and enjoyed good food there and deserts in the workplace.
We had a lot of fun working with each other, always something crazy going on, picking and cutting up. So sorry for your loss Linda.
Dear sweet Linda, we are so sorry for the loss of your Mama. We love you and will be praying for you and the family.
Much love,
Charles and Dianne Tester
I went to church with Clara and Dewey, such a sweet couple. I talked to them occasionally on phone since they have not been able to attend recently. Have missed them so much at church. I know they are happy together again and especially and above all they are with Jesus, the one they loved so dearly. Keeping the family in my prayers in the days ahead. I know it must be so hard losing both parents in such a short time. God bless you all.
So sorry to read that Clara had passed. Now her and Dewey are together again.
Linda & Family,
Thinking of you today and keeping you in my prayers. I know you have been such a great blessing to Clara and Dewey. Dempsey and I enjoyed our visits with them in their home so much after we met them at Amity Hills. I know that Clara was eager to re-unite with Dewey as she told me when I visited her. So good to know they are together once again with our Lord that they loved so much. Looking forward to a great reunion with all of them.
May God cover you with his wonderful grace and comfort in the days ahead.
