Phil, Karen and Allen, our hearts go out to you during this time of loss and grief. We loved your mother...what a feisty woman! I so cherish the times her and your dad and I would talk about the problems of the world before her health went downhill. She and your dad loved each other dearly and missed each other as much. I can remember being with her when she first went to Manna and she would say, "Charles is around here somewhere. I'm sure he'll be along soon." Well, he couldn't come back to her so she went on to be with him. Think about it, reunited and together again for all eternity. I hope all of you have that same hope. We are praying of for you and want you to know if you need anything, please call. Pastor and Mrs. Ray Longenecker p.s. She made the absolutely best macaroni and cheese. Never had any to compare to hers!

I am so sorry to hear about Mildred. I worked with her for years at Central Elementary. I always enjoyed her smile and visiting with her. She was a jewel. May God give you all peace and comfort during this difficult time. With sincere sympathy, Theresa Cooper
