Our family loved your Mother so much. The best times of our lives were spent between her house and Nannie's. Hopefull, we can make it to see all of you soon. With love, Alma

We are so sorry to hear your Mother has passed on to her eternal life. My son Mark spoke of her often and admired her for her strength to carry on like she had. As I have a broken heart and miss Mark so much; I know you feel the same pain as you do for your Mother. May God bless you and your family; continue to carry all your fond memories of her.

You have my deepest sympathies. It was an honor to care for your mother and to be there for you and your family. I pray God provide comfort and peace to you all during this difficult time.

Gloria Dean, I was sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother, I hope your memories will give you some comfort. You and your family will be in my thoughts and PRAYERS. LOVE YA,
