My sincere condolences to the Springer Family in the recent loss of your wife, mother, sister, grandmother and relatives , Mercille Springer.
I remember her fondly as a beautiful, compassionate and caring lady. She was my neighbor for over sixty years. Always greeting me with a warm smile and asking how I was doing.
Be encouraged knowing that God makes no mistakes. She is at peace and rest with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. No more 3 a week dialysis and no more pain.
