"To The Family, Please accept my deepest condolence for the loss of your dear love one. I would like to share some words of comfort from God's word the Bible. John 5:28,29 and Acts 24:15 assures us that those who have fallen asleep in death have the wonderful hope to live again. Also take comfort in Revelation 21:3,4, where at that time SICKNESS,PAIN,DEATH,MOURNING,and OUTCRY will be things of the past, GONE FOREVER. Please take comfort in these encouraging promises."

"I had great admiration and respect for her, she helped me and guided me thru some really hard times. I first met her 26 years ago and over the years have called her or gone to see her many times. She always had a way of making me feel stronger and more confident. God be with you all!"
"Mrs. Plaginos and my mother had their hair done at the same small beauty parlor. I was in awe of her always working, even while under the dryer. She was a trendsetter!"
