I'm so sorry for your loss. Augusta was a wonderful co-worker that always made you smile even when you didn't want to. My favorite memory of her will be our cutting up at the end of the day at the time clock. Augusta will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. May God continue to give you the strength, peace & comfort that only HE can provide today, tomorrow and all the days ahead.
Augusta was a very energetic person with a lively personally that drew people to her. She stopped by the front counter where I worked as a console operator every day when coming into work and leaving for the day, always wishing everyone a good morning or bidding us to have a good evening. I will miss this. She was proud of her military service and seemed to enjoy her work with the clients here. I saw her on several occasions interacting with them. I pray that you will find peace and comfort in knowing that she made a difference in the lives of those that really needed her.

While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, we look forward to the time when words will fail to capture the joy of having our heavenly Father return your dear one to you. May you find comfort in knowing that your dear one is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about her and bring her back again. (John 5:28, 29)
Saucer and Derrick falilies, we are extremely saddened by your loss but take reassurance in the fact that Grace (as we knew her at Thornwell and later) is reunited with her parents. Tom, our prayers are with you daily as you struggle to understand and accept Grace's passing. We both have had loved ones pass away and, even if it is expected, the death is never eady for those left behind. May the peace that she has found abide with you as you grieve and as the hours, days, months, and years slip away until you are reunited again.
