Sarah, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your grandparents. I know how close you were with them both and I can't imagine the void that their loss has left you with. I am especially sorry that it has happened this time of the year. I know how important the holidays are to you. May God give you strength to get through this difficult period. Time will make things better, but their memory will always bring tears to your eyes. Please let me know if you need anything. -Kristina Smith

Caren and Frank I was so very surprised to hear of your mother's passing. I guess she wanted to continue her over 60 year marriage with your father in our heavenly home. She was an example of a true Southern Lady. I am leaving town today for two weeks or I would be at the visitation. Again my deepest condolences . Jerry Benson
