Thank You

This is to Thank all those who helped us during Mom's Passing.

We were Blessed to have our friends and family arrive at the hospital for support. You were all such a Blessing and I am very thankful to have each and everyone of you in our lives.
First I want to thank Missy Phipps and Bruce Dickson. Missy immediately put things in order and left her family in Dallas to come assist us...even before she knew that mom had passed.. knowing the time was near she came to our aid and I am so Blessed for that. Though Bruce and I no longer speak he was there for me during that time. He held me and let me cry and talk.. somehow he knew exactly what I needed and was there through everything. 

Mike Walker and Linda Walker: Thank You both for taking care of my Dad when I couldn't. Thank you for all your advice, guidance and emotional support.. both over the years, during and after this time. You have been such a blessing and are definitely more friends than family.

Inge and Jereme Walker: for opening your home to us and allowing us to stay so long. It was hard to face going home and you allowed me to take the time I needed to face that. Thank You too for helping with Ruth.. she really couldn't have better Godparents...Thank You.

Carol Johnston: for watching Ruth while we were at the hospital and for all the times you were there for us... I miss our many talks. You have been such a Blessing and encouragement to my life.

Petre Webb: for being the lead in going through and organizing Mom's things. For finding special pieces of jewelry for Ruth... and for all the times you were there for us both before and after Mom's death.

To all mom's friends (particularly Linda Walker, Evelynn Richison and Claudia Barker): also for helping go through mom's things, for being at the hospital and for being such wonderful friends to my mom. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement over the years. For helping the many times she was in the hospital and for encouraging her in the Lord... encouraging her to not give up. Thank You also for being a place for me to turn for wisdom and guidance. I am blessed to have you in my life and I miss seeing you.

Pat and Jack Templeton (my grandparents): Thank You for paying for the majority of the funeral...for being our support during and after this time.. and for all the times you were there for us over the years when Mom was sick.

Carol Hamilton (my aunt): for paying for and having a headstone placed on mom's grave,  for your emotional and spiritual support during mom's passing and all through my life... for being such a good friend to mom and for teaching me to be a prayer warrior... Thank You.

I only mentioned a few but there were a great many.. too many in fact for me to list.. that helped us out in so many ways... People who watched Ruth... people who helped put together the funeral and memorial service... and those who were our emotional support during and after this most difficult time and those who allowed us to stay with them when we just couldn't go home. Then too are those who helped us sort through all of mom's things... something I just couldn't bring myself to do. Thank You Everyone!!!
