Jason,
I am so sorry to learn of your mother's demise. May God rest her soul. She was a real entrepreneur and a fighter. I hope that you have the forbearance to bear the loss and void that her death has left in your life. And thank you for taking care of her in her time of need.
Jerry and Phyllis Curnett

Losing a grandmother is a traumatic experience. The elders in our life guide us, lead our way and share their life lessons with us. Now, the family is only left with memorable experiences and dear memories. They may not be the same, but may these memories comfort you during your time of grief.

Jason, I am sad to hear of your mother’s passing. I admire her a great deal. I don’t know that I’ve ever known anyone with a stronger work ethic. I know she loved you beyond words ability to express. God bless you and all your loved ones. I’ll call tomorrow. I love you and your family.

Leave your Condolence
