    Denise your friends from the BHS Class of 1978 have you in our prayers! You and your family have our sympathy on the loss of your mom! You are in our thoughts right now!
    Sue Wagoner Weber and the BHS Class of 1978!

  2. She was my “second mom!” I will miss her dearly. She was so kind to me and will always have a special place in my heart.

  3. Rob and I would like to send our thoughts and prayers for your whole family. Its always difficult to loose our family to death but in this time it is so much more difficult. Psams 34:18 says God is close to the brokenhearted, he knows your pain. and he hears your prayers. I really have fond memories of your mom and dad. They were always kind to us and Rob has good memories of working on the apple farm.
    Big hugs from Rob and I and we are thinking about your family.
    Rob and Kathy Colbert
