Mother was a beautiful soul and I have been truly honored to have shared this life’s journey with her. Her deep and abiding faith in God was the very foundation of her life. Her sweet love and comfort graced the lives of those who knew her. Her quiet and peaceful spirit was a source of great strength and blessing to her family. Hers truly was “the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.†By her presence she left the world a better place. We’ll always cherish the wonderful memories of our Mother. Thank you, Mother. We love you and you will forever be in our hearts.
We will all miss my Aunt Evalena . My sympathy to Sharon, Ron, Arlene and all the families. Aunt Evalena was a beautiful person and such a hard worker. She was the last of her brothers and sisters and so loving. My thoughts are with you all.
We always had so much respect and love for Mrs. Parmenter. The first time I met her she came to invite me to her church, which is where I met my husband, so I feel she was very important in our lives. She always had such faith and goodness about her. She was truly one of Gods special angels sent for all of us to love. We will all miss her so much. Arlene, Sharon and Ron my thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. You have always been like family to us. Love, Linda and Ron
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. With love, The Camacho family.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers! -The Urban family
Dearest Sharon and family, i will be praying for you to be comforted and some day we look forward to seeing your dear mother again. Maybe she is visiting with my mother tody in Heaven!
I recall your dear Mother with great fondness and love. She will be greatly missed. We pray for all her family during this time. Our love and prayers are with you.
Certainly her reward are waiting. Faithful on her watch, her season she never waivered. Stood by her husband, and cared for her 3 kids. I easily imagine Sharon, Ron and Arlene are overwhelmed with memories that linger. Once day we’ll all be home, what a rejoicing this will be.
Loved my Grandma very much. She is such a sweet, gentle hearted person and we will miss her. We had a great life with her and she was such a beautiful person inside and out. I hope I can only be as great as grandma as her. Love you gma… Sheila
Ah, yes the popcorn, ice cream, cake every Sunday. How you loved to buy clothes for the grandchildren, The Holiday dinners and times together. Your strength and courage was amazing, and your Love for the Lord was always steadfast. Mom,those are the things I’m holding onto for the rest of my life. Thank you..Love you momma~ Arlene
Mom, I know you were smiling when Ron and Tammy and I were having ice cream in your honor two days ago. How can we ever forget your love for popcorn, ice cream and watermellon. So many memories, so much love. I already miss your blowing a kiss to me and standing on the sidewalk waving until I drove away each time I visited you. Just knowing you were always there for me gave me such comfort. I miss you, mom. Love always, Sharon
Good bye for now momma. I remember all your sweet smiles, and the times we’d get the giggles. There are so many things I remember, the dresses you made for us, that always matched. Btw~that green swiss one itched. ha. I liked it anyway. We’ll miss you, rest in The Lords sweet peace. Arlene and Tony Oct.17,2012
Mom, rest in peace. You lived a life that blessed so many people and you will never be forgotten in our hearts. I love you.
