Stacie I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. So blessed that you were able to spend the time with her that you did. You have another angel now that will always be with you. I am praying for comfort and peace for you and your family. Bless you all my friend. Love you ????????????
Ellen was a special lady to our family and will dearly be missed. I will always remember her visiting my Mom in St. Mary’s Hospital when I was to young to visit as they didn’t allow kids to visit patients at that time. Mom was in ICU for weeks and in the hospital for more than a month with a rare pneumonia.
Myles and I send our prayers and condolences to Stacie, Scott, and all of the family. Your mom was always kind to Myles and me; a truly inviting spirit that I will always appreciate and be thankful for.
May God continue to keep and comfort you during your time of sorrow.
Love you much,
Whitney R. Bryant and Myles C. Petty.
