Dearest Teresa and family, My deepest condolences on the your loss. The obituary was very well written and the photo of your Mom is lovely. Teresa, are you up to going to the interment
So very sorry for your loss.My prayers and thoughts for you and your family.
To My Dear friend Teresa and Family. I didn’t know your Mama personally, just through photographs, she just looked like a lovely lady with such a beautiful smile. May the lord hold and bless her and be with each of you in the coming days. My prayers and condolences to you all.
I just wanted to say thank you to my eldest sister Ellen Allam for seeing my mom through her healthcare needs of dementia the past 7 years and also at the time of her death that was brought on by COVID-19 Myself and other sister Ann we’re not able too attend the funeral because of the coronavirus, but we plan on having a memorial sometime during the summer in St. Louis. We are all very sad because of her passing. Ann and myself got to speak to her over a speakerphone that the hospice nurse had. It felt very awkward that we couldn’t be there in person. We told her that we love her and not to be afraid to go home to Jesus. I also want to thank the hospice nurse Roxy for being with my mom continuously the last week of her life keeping her comfortable with medications. She was in no pain towards the end.
My Dearest Friend Teresa and your family. I am so sorry about the loss of your Mama. Although I didn’t know her personally, I loved to see her beautiful smiling photographs and her dancing videos!!! May the lord bless her and bring you all comfort at this most difficult time.
I am so very sorry for your loss.. thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time!
