Sherri, I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother.

Sherri. My condolences for your loss. Losing your mom is always so sad and I know it will be hard without her
Debra, Nick, and kids, We send our love and sympathy to you all in the passing of your dear mom, grandma, and great-grandma. She was a special lady! The Dayton family
Aunt Rill was very special to me and our family
She blessed many people!!
She was SPECIAL. So are you
Love to all
What a beautiful lady, and I love her name. You’ve been so, so good to her through the years and have cared for her well. May God with you, and fill your spirit with his comfort and care.
Sherri, your mom touched the lives of many. She will be dearly missed. Mom & I will miss her smiling face and visits. I can still see her sitting by Mom & holding hands. We are hoping warm memories will touch your heart and bring you comfort. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry that Janice and I will not be there. She is doing well with her knee replacement on Monday, but of course is not up for any long trips or standing for very long. I loved your mom and her soft-spoken ways. She always had such a beautiful smile and I loved when she and my mom got together it was like they had never been apart. I know you will miss her and that will never change, but as it is said when we lose a loved one, you won’t get over it, but it will get easier. Hugs to all of you!
I have very fond memories of the Clark family during my high school years. Mrs. Clark was always so kind to me. My time spent with Cindy and the entire family was an important part of my last two years of high school. My prayers and thoughts to Cindy, Debbie, Bruce, and Sherri. Take care. Tim
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom did a huge favor for my folks when my folks had to move to Texas for dads job. Your mom took me in so I could finish my senior year here. It was a different experience for me but, your mom made me feel right at home. That year was very special for me and I’m sure for you kids too. We all made it work. I always called Aurilla , “ MOM 2 “. She was one in a million. I was so thankful to have had her in my life. Bless you all . Faith, family and friends and many good memories will help you along life’s path. Much love to all.
