Back        Words of Comfort

Mon, Aug 23, 2010 “Ma Furner” was one of the sweetest little ladies I have ever known.  I have such fond memories of her.  I loved her personality, especially her little giggle!!  I am very saddened by her death, but what a long life she had.  It is always hard to lose the ones we love, but knowing she is now in Heaven with Mr. Furner and Kenny is consoling.  My sympathies go out to her wonderful family whom I consider part of my family.  God bless you all.  

Lots of love,  Bernie and Bill
