This earthly angel was a true example of living a Christian life. She has taught us to think of others and do good for others before thinking of ourselves. The absolute most selfless person we have known and we are honored to have called her a friend, though she was so much more than that. Our sympathy can best be expressed by the example of life we hope to live now that she is watching over us. Thank you, God, for blessing us with this incredible human being in our lives, and for leaving us with a spirit that can only spread happiness and thoughtfulness, lead by her example. We love you dearly, “Abel-Mabel” !
We are so sorry for your loss Dora. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Dear Dora and Gary and Family, Becky and Family, Lonnie and Family, Sending our sympathy to all the family in the loss of Mabel, a wonderful example for all of us in how to live and enjoy life. We are thinking of each and every one of you all and sending our love.
Dora and Family: Bill and I extend our deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mother. You will be in our prayers.
Dora, Becky, Lonnie, and all the Gunn Family:
Aunt Mabel was truly an inspiration, with her energy, her love of life, and her care and concern for others. Thinking of you all and sending my love.
I am sorry to hear about Mabel. She and Lon lived next door to my parents in Stone Mountain for many years. She was such a dear and loving lady. As you reflect on all the memories you hold dear, may the love of family, friends, and God’s word bring you peace. We all look forward to the day when Almighty God will swallow up death forever and wipe the tears from all faces. Isaiah 25:8.
Dora and Family: You are in our thoughts and prayers. Mabel was a special lady and will be missed by many.
I was blessed to have been touched by the loving prayers and support from Mabel, during different times in my life and I will always be grateful for that gift. Mabel demonstrated daily the power of positive thinking as well as unconditional positive regard for all she met and shared her love with. Although her physical presence may have come to an end her spiritual connection will remain with loved ones forever.
Dora, I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
