Pat, Larry and family: I am so saddened to hear about your sweet mother. She was a genuine, kind and Godly woman, and we all loved her dearly. I have so many wonderful memories of her, your dad, our parents and my brother, sister and I visiting with them quite often and attending Garden Oaks Church of Christ together. I know there must have been a such huge celebration in heaven when your family members welcomed her with open arms! She will be missed! May she rest in peace. May God bless all of you! Much love, Dayna Caswell Dryden
