Dear Marion Jeff “Peanuts” Cottrill, Janis Bonnell and her husband Ron, Brenda Diaz and her husband Louie, Carol Cumberledge, and Monica Travelstead and her husband Jimmy, and all grandchildren & great-grandchildren - Gosh it seams just like it was yesterday that Alma & my grandmother, Iva Cutright worked together at the Cleaners. I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Wishing there were a way, somehow, for words to fully say...the many thoughts of sympathy this brings to you all. Words alone just can't express the sadness that those who were close to Alma & you all in the past & present are feeling for the passing of your beloved Alma. She was a wonderful loving person. Peanuts & her daughters were the love of her life, so I know how she must have enjoyed her grandchildren & great-grandchildren. May you find comfort in knowing that friends share in your loss. In Love & Sympathy, Cheryl Harold-Goff & Family

She was such a kind, gentle, loving woman and all of you, her family, were the center of her life. These are very unique and trying times and now you must deal with this added sorrow of the loss of someone so dear to you. May God grant you peace and strength to face the difficult days ahead. May you find comfort in one another and in the memories of happier times. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. With love, your niece and cousin, Pat(Patty)

I know that Alma's passing is bittersweet for all of you. You didn't want her to suffer while at the same time you didn't want to give her up. You'll miss her humor, hugs, kisses, and love. She's so happy and whole now in the presence of Jesus and each one of you will see her again. In the meanwhile, grieve in your own special way, honor her memory, cry because you miss her every minute of every day, and let the good Lord lighten your hearts. If I could, I'd come cry with you and hug every one of you. As it stands however, I will lift you in my prayers. God bless.

Dear Mr. Cottrill, Janis, Brenda, Carol, Monica and families. I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was the nicest person when we were growing up on Grant Street. I remember stopping by the cleaners to see her when we were out running around during the day. She always had a smile! I saw her and your dad a few years ago at Kroger's and they recognized me right off. She told me about all the "girls" and was so proud of each of you. May the memories take away the sorrow of your loss. I can say it will get easier as time goes on, but you will forever miss her. She will be in your hearts forever, you will talk to her daily and your memory of her will make you laugh, cry and smile. Take care and God Bless each of you and your families. Cathy (an old friend)

So sorry for your loss. Aunt Sis was a special lady and will be missed by everyone who knew her! Danny and I loved her dearly! She always had a beautiful smile and always made you feel welcomed and loved. I always enjoyed visiting with her and setting in her big swing on the porch and having coffee with her!! Our deepest condolences to all of the family.

Dear Cottrill family, I'd like to express my condolence and deep regrets for your loss and share where I found help at such a time as this when I lost my entire family to this enemy death. I found comfort and hope in what I read in Jehovah Gods word the Bible at John5:28,29 there it tells us we'll see our love ones again at the resurrection when Jesus brings them back here on earth and at ICornithians15:54 we're told that this enemy death will be gone forever. I'm able to cope with my loss because of these scriptures and jw.org because now I know I'll see my love ones again and so can you. I wanted to share this with you now when hope and comfort is needed hoping that this will help you also for this is my purpose in sharing this with you at this time and please know that I do share your grief and hope you'll feel free to let me know if this helped in some way. I hope to hear from you. Sincerely, GM
