Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
sorry for your loss, I know it is hard to let go but she will always be with you and your family is in my prayers.
Maude was always such a sweet person. We lived close to each other and went to school together. We were also cousins down the line. My sis and I both spent time with Maude through the years when we were kids. You have my most heartfelt condolences… God Bless all of you. I know she will be greatly missed.
I love you and will miss you always Maude! You will live on in my heart always. I know you are singing in that Heavenly choir up there and I will someday hear that beautiful voice again. Until we meet again!
I don’t know where to even start… I loved her so much and she has been such a huge influence in my life and an inspiration to me. You may be absent from this earth physically but you are here in our hearts and will live on in our memories.. I firmly promise you that I will meet you by the river as the song goes. I love you and will pass along what you have taught me to my grandchildren, singing to them “Grandma’s rocking chair”… Rip my second mom..Connie
H C & Family So Sorry For Your Loss. Sending Thoughts Prayers.
To a dear friend, Maude Adams. I feel God truly sent you into my life at my lowest times when I needed you most. A true light from Heaven, my Christian friend, neighbor and example to follow. We have been thru a lot together and Sister it looks like He may be coming to call us Home close together. I know my time is near. Then we truly can stroll all over Heaven together. Until then you will be missed. My prayers are for your family.
