Condolences for the family of “Mary Louise Corley Hodde”
So sorry for your loss of your loved one. It’s hard to put in words how the heart feels at times like this, but to the Hodde Family, you lost a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a g-grandmother, aunt, sister, but she is free of all pain. Plus, she gained her Angel Wings, so when you see a penny on the ground, pick it because she tossed it to you.
My prayers go to the family for comfort.
To the Family of Mary Hodde,
Although I had occasion to speak and interact with Mrs. Hodde only a few times, I came to instantly admire her. Indeed, she was a very special person. So kind, so cordial, so personable, so creative, too. I loved driving by her home, when I was in the neighborhood, to see how the front was decorated. I am very sad that she had to leave for her heavenly home, and my prayer is that all of you will be comforted and strengthened by our Savior Jesus Christ. You are in my prayers.
