Dear Mom and Dad,
My success in college and graduate school are due to your belief in my ability to succeed. I have had many opportunities to to continue my education through your support and encouragement. I started as a teacher. Developed in to a teacher who supported teachers in the classroom. You encouraged my desire to continue my education at the University of Georgia and earning a doctorate degree. None of this would have been possible without support from you and dad and your belief in me. I am grateful for all that you and dad did in encouraging me to continue my education.
Love You Mom and Dad,
Your Daughter Karen

Before this virus, I missed seeing you in Church. It was at that point I kinda figured you were finishing the race of this life. I will always remember you and our Church friendship and look forward to seeing you in the Beauty of Heaven 🙏🏻. Blessings, Bill Scheve

Mom,
You were there in the darkest hours of my life when I lost Chris. We shared a bond when you lost Joyce. It’s ironic that we both lost our first born. I will miss all of our secret note passing and talks in your hot room. Your help as our fill up girl will be greatly missed. You always kept our supplies full.
I will always miss your terrific neck and foot massages. You always knew when I needed you.
I can’t say it enough I’m going to truly miss all of your help. All of your children are giving people. We all learned from the best you and dad. Take care of Joyce and Chris. Give Dad a hug and a kiss 💋 from me. One thing I’m truly going to miss is your expertise on drawing up my B-12 shots.

Love,
Your darling daughter, Julie

Take care of Joyce and Chris . Give dad a big hug and kiss 💋 from me
Last but not least I’m truly going to miss your expertise on drawing up my B-12 shots.

Aunt Dolores was truly one of a kind. She was someone so kind, so compassionate, so gracious, and so full of the Spirit. I was truly inspired by her faith in God, and I have been inspired by her so much over the years. She recently called us to ask how we were doing, and it was so good to hear from her again. I loved how positive she was, and I did not know that was going to be the last time I heard her voice - but I now know that she is welcomed by her Lord and is partying with the angels, restored to full sight, sound, and radiant joy.

I send deepest condolences to her family members during this time. Dolores was one of a kind and is truly missed. I will remember and cherish her always. With most sincere sympathies,

Mike

It was a real pleasure getting to know you over the past several years. You were quite an amazing woman. You raised such a wonderful son - John! He is truly one of the most selfless and loving people I have ever met. I believe he acquired these traits from you. For this, I will always be thankful to you. I am so honored to have him as my husband and in my life. It is a true blessing to be a part of your Konke family!

Growing up year after year receiving letters in the mail from you never failed to put a smile on my face. I loved reading them and writing you back. I’ll never forget when you sent me sixteen presents on my my sixteenth birthday, and thinking this is one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. I’ll deeply miss you and our letters back and forth. It brought me such joy to get to know such an amazing woman.
