    Rynn, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I know how hard this is for you. I know your mom was so happy when you came back home to stay with her. She enjoyed her time with you and Brisco. And I know you enjoyed your time with her. You will face some hard times now, just know that she loved you and she knew you loved her. My prayers are for you and the family, rest assured she is with our Lord now. She went home. Love you, and if you need anything, call me. Jodie and Scott McCormick

    Rynn, she is now with God where there is no more pain, suffering or dealing with the terrible disease she was afflicted with. God will wrap his arms around you like a blanket to help you in this time of loss. Your Abigail sisters are here if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.

    Rynn, from your fellow team member of Walk 84, I pray that God will give you peace in knowing that your mother is with Him in the arms of Jesus. This Life is not conclusion, a sequel stands beyond; Invisible, as music - but positive, as sound. Trudy Calvert
