I was so sad to hear of Nada's passing, she was a dear cousin and we will miss her terribly. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the rest of the family. I am sorry I was unable to attend her services but I was in the hospital for Pancreatic Cancer surgery and wasn't aware of her passing until I was released from the hospital after her funeral.

We are so sorry for your loss. There is much comfort in Jesus words at John 5:28,29." Do not be amazed...there is going to be a resurrection.." Please note Pauls words at Acts 24:15 " there is going to be a resurrection... " Please find comfort in knowing that we can see our loved ones again.

Dear family,
My heart is so saddened by the death of my sweet wonderful friend who has been my friend so so many years.
We have worked so many years together for the citizens of Cherokee County thru the Democrat Party also with the Board of Elections and our dear friend Sylva Waggoner. She was such a wonderful worker and also such a kind and loving person to all who she came in contact with. Go in love and may God grant you eternal rest. You will never be forgotten. Pat
