Julie, Amy, & Jana,
I am so sad to hear of Aunt Sandra’s passing.
She loved you 3 girls so very much! And it was her great joy to share your lives & watch your families grow!
Her care & loyalty to Margie always reminded me of Ruth refusing to leave her mother-in-law Naomi,…
“Where you go,
I will go; where you lodge,
I will lodge;
Your people shall be my people,
and your God my God.
Where you die,
I will die—
there will I be buried.”
-Ruth 1:16–17-
Peace & Comfort
to each of you,
~Lori
Jana, Amy, and Julie,
My heart goes out to y’all during this difficult time. I have so many good memories with y’all and your mom!! She was the best!! I’m praying for y’all and sending all my love!!
Julie, Amy, Jana and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom/Nanu passing. I know you will miss her. I think of our time as neighbors with a smile. Your Mom was such a fun person. She taught us about making her fabulous bean pizza and taking camel walks through the grocery store. I learned a lot from her strength as she went through so many health issues…always with a smile on her face. She truly was a strong person in the face of adversity. We should all hold that same trait in our hearts… to help us get through our life’s journey… until we reunite with her in heaven. I’m praying for all of you to find comfort during this difficult time.
Love In Christ,
Cindy Douglas Setlock
