Debbie: So sorry and sad to hear of your loss. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers!!
Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.
I am so sorry not to be with you for Stella’s service and funeral, but please know that you are all in my thoughts. We were close enough in age that she never felt like ” “Aunt ” Stella to me, but just another girl who happened to live at Grandma’s house. I remember her staying with my family for a time in New York when George was in the service and Pam just a small baby. She was, I know, a driving force in starting our Yonts family reunions and I am forever grateful to her for that. Family meant everything to Stella; she was just so proud of all of you !
And , by the way, I think she would have loved knowing that no matter how hard I tried, I never COULD match her tiny, perfect quilting stitch. I love you all.
To Deb and her family,
You have my deepest sympathy and prayers through this difficult time. I will pray that the Lord will walk with you and comfort you and your family.
Debbie and the rest of the Pedigo family. So very sorry for the loss of your mother and wife. May you feel the prayers on your behalf.
