For Sharon and Kay, especially, (and for Renea and Hoyt although I didn’t know y’all as well as I knew Sharon and Kay). I did not know your mama but I knew y’all a long time ago (Frank White days and Reagan/Bush days). I just saw your mama’s obit and I wanted to tell y’all how sorry I am for your loss. I lost my mom in 2010 and I do know how important it is to know that people are praying for you. It does not matter whether you are close to the folks praying or not. Just know that there are prayers with love going up there for you from both Bill and myself. And take care of yourselves...

John and I are so sorry for the loss of your Mother. She was so kind to me when we worked together at Sears so many years ago. I was a teenager and she was a young mom teaching me the job. She was so bright and fun. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

It is very difficult to say goodbye to someone as important in our lives as Mrs. Plunkett was in all of yours. She was surely proud of her wonderful children, grandchildren and great-grands. Our thoughts and prayers for all of you. Jan and Edsel Danner

Mrs. Margaret was a beautiful lady and awesome homemaker who loved to be busy with her family and friends. She has only just begun celebrating a heavenly home with the family and friends that have gone before and were there to greet her. She will be missed by those that remain but left an example for us to follow.
