I am a volunteer at the Mo. Veteran’s Home. I started volunteering there when my mother-in-law was a resident there. I was lucky in being able to take Emily over to visit with Jefferson several times and I truly enjoyed the time I spent with them!
I have fond memories of my visits with my Mom and then later with my sister, Cora, to your parents home. Emma Lou’s door was always open and she was such a pleasant person, even after life handed her some tough times. I know she is up in heaven right now having quite a visit with Mom and Cora!! You had a sweet, wonderful Mom.
My deepest sympathy to the Creviston Family. Mrs. C was a very sweet and loving person. I have fond memories of going over to the Creviston home with my Aunt Pat. She is now again with Mr. C! My thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
Tim and family,
Dear Tim,
I share Cathy Besco’s opinion of your mom. I knew your folks all my life and always enjoyed coming to your house to play. My sincere sympathy for so much loss in your life (Dad, Mom & Tom). Wasn’t able to attend as I had our 6 month old grandson (first grandchild) staying with us. I would have liked to give you a hug – please consider this a hug and a kiss for old times as we remember our wonderful parents, childhood, and great neighborhood.
Love,
Connie (Miller) Heard
Tim,
Sorry to hear about your loss. My deepest sympathy to your family.
