Sorry to hear if the passing of your loved one. Sending my deepest condolences to the family. Will keep you in my prayers in the days ahead. 1Thessalonians 4:13-18
My sincere condolences to the family. SIP beautiful lady.
Wow, this hit me hard. This lady was there for me for one of the toughest seasons in my adult life. I would go to her so many times and she would wrap her arms around me and pray me through. Always positive even though a bad situation. My condolences to the entire family. She will be truly missed and forever in my heart.
She was such a sweet soul. I am so very sorry for your loss.
The Artis Hill family extends sorrowful condolences to David and the family of Maurice. The Hills and the Buckner's became friends over 20 years ago. Somewhere during those years we became family. Our hearts are broken losing Maurice but we are immensely proud of David and her children for the care they gave her. She gave love and she received love. Now she is at rest. God's peace to you all.
I'm heartbroken for the Buckner family. I'm praying for all of you, especially David. The Mackool family is here if you need us. Love, Cheryl
