Momma is with Aunt Mary playing dominoes and they are ordering Fred around and laughing. I love you all. Dawn
Michelle,
Our thoughts are with you. Although I only met Mable a few times, I know she was a wonderful woman.
Nothing can ease the grief but time and happy memories.
With Love,

Mom,
I know you're in heaven with Jesus. The last breath you took on earth was labored and limited by your weakened body. Yet, the next one you took was in heaven, healed, whole and strong. Everyone who dies does not go automatically to heaven. If that were true, why did Jesus die? Heaven holds only those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior and believe His words, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)
You were a good Mother, loving and generous to a fault. You were supportive of me all of my life, praying for me, encouraging me and loving me in the up times and the down times. I will miss you tremendously, but memories of you will pop up all the time, reminding me of all the good times and all the laughter.
See you later, Mom! Hug everyone for me, especially Jesus and Daddy.
Mable,
I know you're with Jesus! I'll miss you. Keep the gates open wide for me! See you later.
All my love.
Ms. Mable,
I have been blessed to know you and spend many fun times with you. I always see your sweet smile when I think of you. It was such fun for you to go to Jasper and get to know Mother. We had a great trip to Galveston. Mother was so fond of you and wished for many more times to get together.
God called you home and I know you are reunited with all those who have gone before. How wonderful to know you are in HIS presence. I will see you again to spend eternity with you. I love you dearly, Brenda
Marsha and Michelle, I am so sorry about the passing of your mother who has been my friend for many, many years. She is now in her heavenly home. I'm praying that the sorrow you feel will fade in light of eternity's blessings.
We shall miss her.
Marsha and Michelle, I am sorry for the loss of your mother who had been my friend for many, many years. I am praying tht the sorrow you feel will fade in light of eternity's blessings.
I am so sorry to read about the loss of your dear loved one. During times like this we yearn to see them again. The Bible makes this beautiful promise to all mankind. John 5:28,29 says "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
Thank you for all you did to make our mother's funeral special, dignified, and easy for us.
I just can't express to you enough how much we appreciated the kindness and professionalism my family experienced with you and your staff.
Thank you for treating my beloved mother with honor and respect all throughout the process.
Our family will be forever grateful to the owner and staff at Beresford Funeral Services for the excellent services they provided to our family upon the death of our loved one. Everything went smoothly. The planning was easy with everything needed for the funeral provided on sight at reasonable prices with no pressure to spend more than planned. They were flexible with our personal plans, very kind, and considerate from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend Beresford Funeral Services to anyone in need of funeral services.
