Dear Linda,

I'm so sorry for your great loss. I know how hard you have worked to take care of your mother all these years and I know in my heart that she knew and loved you for it. We should all be so lucky to have someone like you looking after us! Love Cindy

Dear Linda and Les,

I know the time for you now is very tender, remembering your life with your mother. It is during times like this when all the love we have for our mothers surfaces. I think it is God's way of making the transition from life here to life with Him easier on those left behind. But one glorious day we shall all be together and that is our hope in the Our Lord. Rest in that fact, dear ones. MY prayer is that you will be strong in HIM so that he can carry you through with peace.

Love, Carolyn

I will always remember Christene, or as I know her, Lenee's Grandma, fondly. Lenee and I would visit her (and Leroy, Lenee's grandpa) in Whittier. Lenee and I would stay up and talk and laugh about basically anything and nothing with Christene. I will always have these happy memories of her.

Dear Linda,

Know I am with you in spirit at this sad time. I remember your mother with affection and I know what great friends she and Leroy were to my parents. She was fortunate to have a daughter with the love and strength to do what needed to be done to care for her safely during her decline. Now that that struggle is over may you enjoy your memories of loving and happy times together.

Ours prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dad and Mom (Ed & Ollie Hanson) always looked forward to Christene's letters and Christmas cards. She loved telling about Linda & Lenee. I am sorry for both of us, that Mom & I did not keep those to share with you. But keep the sad tears abay, and only have the glad ones. Today our parents are in Heaven celebrating Christene's Homecoming.

Love and Prayers
