Jill, Janet, and Jerry-I am so sorry to hear about your mother. Praying for you and your families during this difficult time.
We have heard many stories about your mother from Lonny Dean Hicks. She certainly was a provider as well as a fighter. We know she will keep watch over you all and wait to be reunited.
So sorry for your loss. Thinking of you… Love you.
So very sorry for your loss. Miss Florence was an extra special lady. Prayers for all the family.
Prayers for the family love you all
Dearest Janet, I’m so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I know just how close you two were. I know she has been a Godly mother to you, Jill and Jerry and loving grandmother to grands and great grands. She was a rock for your families and a guiding light when needed. She always loved each of you and yours, never judging but always praying. I know just how hard it’s going to be without her to talk to. Take time to grieve, all the time you need without guilt. Each has to grieve in their own way and time. But try and remember all the years she served over Lord, and now she gets to sit at His feet. Her crown will be full, I have no doubt. My heart will be with each of you as you say goodbye for now. You’ll see her again. Our love and prayers, Rick and Beth
So sorry for the loss of your dear mother. Though we have lost touch over the years, I still have fond memories of fun times with your family. I still see your mother’s smile and hear her soft voice. I know you will miss her greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss.
I was Mrs. Florence manager at Linden Square. So sorry for your loss. Mrs Florence was a Blessing to me. She was always kind and thoughtful. I will surely miss her.
I spent many days with Miss Florence and James …. finest folks I knew. God Bless her and the family. Buster and Judy are driving to Nashville today and probably don’t know. I will tell them this evening. Jerry…. I am so sorry. Hope y’all are doing well. Curtis
