My family and I would like to offer our deepest sympathies to you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are never alone. Turn to the Holy Scriptures for guidance and to help soothe your heart. Psalms 34:18 assures us that God is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Dear Kids,
So sorry to read about your dear Mother. I was pretty young the last time I saw her
but she was so nice and pretty. I’m happy she got to live such a long life. My Dad
was a brother to Dale Kelly.
Sincerely, L. M. Holcomb, Onaga
