Condolences

  1. Shawn Earnest says:

    Grandma Mildred, will be greatly missed. Grandma was the kind of person who would give everything she had for her family, and never want anything in return. She was a born giver. Myself and the rest of this family would not be where we are at today if it were not for the numerous times grandma gave of herself to help each one of us in some way. Grandma was a strong presence in this family, and her presence will be sorely missed.

    Barb I don’t know if you remember me but I was the Director of Aging for Adams County when Drew was still alive and we assisted you two with services for Mildred. I want to take this time to tell you what a awesome individual you are for taking care of Mildred like you did. You have truly shown love, compassion and you yourself deserve a halo. You have good memories and lots of time you spent with her so remember those and be aware you are a super special individual. Continue on with your life with a big smile as you were a wonderful caregiver and gave her a life she would not have had if you were not there.
