Steve & I are devastated we lost our daughter Amanada yesterday she was only 36.

 -

We will always love her and we miss her terribly already.
 
Posted by Len Mort (Member # 7030) on :
 
My heart cries for you, You both and your daughter will be in our prayers.

There is a better place and I'm sure that she is there looking down on you both. You have an angel that will watch over you.

our prayer is that a gentile, loving God will keep her close to His Heart and grant both of you His strength, grace and healing comfort that she is with Him, waiting for the day when you will join her once again.

We are all here on loan.
Love you both.
Len & Barbara Mort

On behalf of our Family, I want to give all of you a big hug right now. This is every Parents' worse nightmare.

I've sat down at the keyboard several times since Saturday. To be honest, I just could not come up with the words to use in the Post Title. So much I want to share with all of you.

Until I can find the time to do that, I'd like to invite you all to visit the funeral home website. Please feel free to sign the condolence page and read the Obituary.
