Dear, dear sister, with us no more, but always in our hearts. You were taken away from us suddenly, but yet your life had become what you didn’t want it to be, and we know that now your limitations are replaced by freedom and your frustration and boredom by eternal joy. We are picturing you, Earl, and Roland sitting in front of the garage door [does Heaven have one?], just visiting up a storm, and your heavenly neighbors standing in line to greet you! Happy 91st Birthday on your funeral day, November 16. I love you.
Aunt Page, This is so sad to lose you dear Aunt, but in another way I can rejoice that I had you for almost 40 years lacking 16 days and even though we had differences of opinions on things I know you really loved me so much and that will be what gets me through these rough sad days ahead! You will be missed so much by so many folks but especially me! I loved our many special times together and now no more. Just know I love you very much and I always will! Melanie
I met Page here in Virginia and I found out that we were both from NC. Page grew up in Warren County and I grew up in neighboring Halifax County. I truly enjoyed meeting and getting to know her. I loved sharing my stories of loving NC barbeque. I miss her and I am glad I got to meet her.
Dear Page, You will be greatly missed and I can’t thank you enough for being there for me and our family over the years. Aaron
I was so sorry to hear of Pages passing. I grew up living right next door on 308 Owaissa Rd. She was a sweet lady and she will be dearly missed! I will always remember that she had the best kept yard in the neighbohood in which she was very proud of!
I wish to express my most sincere condolences to Page’s immediate family. I wish I could be there with you this weekend, but be assured I will be with you in spirit as you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Jack called me this morning to let me know of Page’s passing. DMC
