Dear Warfield Family,
DA was a mother, mother-in-law and grandmother to all of you. You were her family and she will be with you always in your memories. May those memories keep alive the devotion she showed in how she lived her life.
May you find peace in our Savior Jesus Christ

Dear Paul and Family, I knew your mother for many years. I used to work with your dad, Paul, at Blue Cross, and I helped your mom and dad clean their house in Prairie Lane shortly after they bought it. I also attended parties they hosted at the house from time to time. But most of all, I knew your mother as a very kind and gracious and caring woman – we talked on the phone many times as I kept a bank account at the State Bank of Colon for many years (for BCBS health insurance)…it was always so nice to talk to her, or run into her. She always asked about my kids and what was going on in my life. She was a beautiful, wonderful, just plain “nice” person and a model of how to be a good Christian woman. I am so sorry for your loss.
