So sorry for your loss. Prayers to the family.
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
It is with a very saddened heart that I write about my Aunt Sis and send my love and hugs to the rest of the family that loved her too. She had an infectious smile and a laugh that I can still hear when I shut my eyes. The oldest of nine Study children and looked up to by all that knew her. She loved her all her family and I don’t remember her speaking ill of anyone. She was a Study treasure and will be with us in our hearts forever and ever. Rest easy up on that hill Aunt Sis, I will visit you when I can. Love, your niece, Linda
Grandma Ellen was such a wonderful woman. I have many fond memories of her that I will carry in my heart. Much love to you all. Love, Renee
I love you Grandma.
