Dear Becky, Judy, Sandi, Cindy and Renee,
I am so sorry to learn of your mom's homegoing. What a wonderful lady she was and I know her passing will leave a huge void in your hearts.
It has been years since I've seen any of you, but some of my fondest memories are of girl scout meetings with your mom as leader. She was always so happy, positive, and great encourager to all the young girls she mentored.
May God give you all many wonderful memories to comfort you until you are all together again.
Blessings and prayers,
Patti Campbell DeShields
