"'It will be the little things that you will remember,the quiet moments,the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now,it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.' So sorry for your loss - love you all Dean, Jennifer, Jordan and Shane"

Tributes
"My deepest sympathies. Your old neighbor, Wilma Butcher Shelton"
"Our son, Nathan, has spoken often to us regarding the circumstances of Mrs. Sinnott's recent hospitalization, surgery, and suffering. While we did not personally know your mother, we are glad for her insistance that Nathan be seen by medical professionals when he was seriously ill recently: she could have actually saved his life! We wanted you to know that despite her own illness and discomfort she was still very much concerned about the welfare of others, for which we will be ever grateful! Our hearts go out to you knowing that you will certainly feel the absence of such a thoughtful, caring mother!"
"Dear Martha and family So sad to hear this but please know thinking of you all and God give you the peace of knowing we will all meet again and then will be for eternity. Sincerely, Lisa (Clark) Lewis. Washington, Indiana"
