Linda, Paula, Larry and Dennis, your Mom was such a GREAT Mom when we were kids, I'm sorry I didn't know her more resently. I sure did love her smile and there was always that playful twinkle in her eyes. My Dad Orville really did enjoy your parents company, thank God for their connection in Ft Monmouth Army. I feel very blessed to have know them both. God Bless you all
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother was truly a remarkable woman. I loved to hear stories about her going out dancing, her positive outlook and general love for life. Thank you for sharing your mother with me through your stories. Her memory will live on and continue to provide joy and inspiration!
Linda, Paula and family,
I was so sad to hear that Loyce had passed. Had I known sooner, I would have seen you all on Tuesday. I enjoyed the joy Loyce had in her family. Her and Paul's 50th Anniversary party was one sophisticated affair with lots of flair. And, her celebration for her marriage to Dean was just as joyous.Please accept my sincerest condolences,sympathies, and prayers.
Linda and family,
It is very hard to loose your mother. This is one of those times, when a close family is so important. I know you will be there for each other to not only get through this sad time, but to keep the memory of your mother alive.
Hi,
I got to know Loyce when she attended my GED class in Percy. How proud she was of the class ring her children presented to her when she passed her GED test. She told me all about it at her graduation ceremony. She fairly glowed with pride while showing it to me, and I was so happy for her.
I did not know Loyce was in Coulterville Care, or I would have gone to visit her.
I was so sad to hear that she passed. She was a very special lady.

Linda - My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your siblings and the rest of your family on the passing of your Mom.

Linda, Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your beloved mother. I'm sure she was comforted by all the support you and your siblings and spouses gave her during her struggles with her illness. The fact she fought for life when the odds seemed against her surely meant she loved you all and didn't want to leave you. But, as they say she is in the arms of angels now, and may you find God's peace through your grief.
Our prayers are with you. Your Mom was such a lovely and caring person. I remember her as compassionate and with such trust and faith in the Lord.
I was so sorry to hear that you're Mom passed away. Make each of you take comfort in knowing that she is with her Lord.
Dear Linda & Ed,
Although I didn't know Linda's Mum, she was obviously a gifted and beautiful woman. I wish you both comfort and strength at her passing and the weeks ahead. I am sure she is doing great work in the next realm. Linda and I taught together for several years and shared teaching our next generation. I'm sure her Mum felt most proud of Linda's contributions. Warmest regards, and wishes for a better 2012, Will
