Marsha and Mary Beth, I am so sorry that I was out of town when your mother passed. I haven't seen any of you for a while but I would like for you both to know that I have you in my prayers and if I can do anything at all, please let me know. She was a wonderful person and friend!

To Mary Beth, Marsha, Bill and Sarah,
We send our love and prayers at this time to you all, our sweet cousins. We also grieve the passing of our dear Aunt Mary and reflect on the memories of her and Uncle Lloyd and our families' times together through the years. May you feel the presence of the Lord and experience the comfort that only He can give. And do not forget the blessed hope that we have as partakers of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope.
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.
With much love,
Ann Shambo, Joel Gilliam, Amy, Billy, Drew and Ben Ferguson

I am so very sorry to hear this about your mom. I know your pain. My prayers are with you. She has now entered heaven and she and mom can root on the Herd with sideline passes.

Dear Marsha and Mary Beth,
It just seems like last week that I was playing tennis against Uncle Lloyd in the front yard. Enjoying being with you all down on the river. Time really flies.
I always felt at home with you all. Aunt Mary was always so sweet. Boy the memories. I do love you all and at times like this I wish I would have stayed in touch more closely. I am sorry for the loss of your mom. I am and will be praying for you all the next few days and weeks.
There was an old preacher named Vance Havener who said that you haven't lost a loved one because you know where they are. Aunt Mary is with all of the family whose has gone on before.
Mom, Otaka, is still kicking and mainly she is kicking me.
Our Love and Prayers,
Steve and Vickie Patteson
