    My deepest sympathy to you Michelle and Johnny. I was saddened when I saw Michelle’s post; I definitely can sympathize with the loss in your heart with losing one’s mother. She gave me comfort when Mother passed away just over 4 years ago. I am glad I was able to see her, Lizzie, and Dawnie last year when they came to the Sheridan VFW. Keep all those happy memories alive in your heart. God Bless you guys. Love, Jackie

    To Lenney, Michelle, Johnny, Grandchildren
    So sorry to hear the news of Phyllis terrible tragedy. Can’t believe that happened to her. She just visited me in A.M. that day in Hospital. She was my best friend and very helpful to me. I’ll miss her terribly. She acted like a daughter to me. She’s one of the angels now.
    In Sympathy,
    Millie Drummond
