In baby, I thank you for all the life lessons that I learned from you in these last three years.I will never regret one moment of what we ‘ve done.Know that you will always be so special to me.
I can’t be more grateful to my niece Rhonda Zorka for taking my baby and giving her the best care in these last years . When she passed, I was left with this feeling that I had felt her first breath ;and I was there at her last breath. She was a wonderful person & better daughter She took care of me when I was down. I know that’s the angels came down to get her and take her to her final home with Our Lord .You will be missed Love Mom
My Dear Katye,
Words are not enough to describe how sorry I am for the loss of your Mom. I pray that the good memories will take over the sadness very soon. I am thinking of you, Trey and Stephanie today and praying that God gives you all peace. If there is anything that you need please let me know.
Love Always,
Ginger
As I sit here and think about some of our last interactions, I just smile. I rejoice knowing you are free and in the arms of our Savior. I know this is not goodbye but just see ya later cuz… You are HOME… The Lord explains, this world is not our home. This life is like a mist. James 4:14 (NIV): “Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes” and 2 Corinthians 5 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling.
Enjoy your new dwelling cuz and I will see ya soon!!
ILY ❤️
Martha
My condolences to Aunt Sallye, Lee, Wayne, the kids and grands and to….
Rhonda, you have done an extraordinary job taking care of Arlene and I know your heart hurts and you will miss her but because of you she was so spoiled, loved and cared for so well. Even in the hardest of moments. I know you know that she is now with Jesus and I know that comforts you. Big hugs sis. I pray you lean on the Lord in the days ahead and He give you comfort and direction.
All my love,
Martha
