Sending my love and prayers for your family. So thankful I was able to cross paths with such a beautiful lady. Blessings
I was so so lucky to have a great grandma she always thought and asked about me and I always enjoyed looking at old photos of her and having dinner together where at the end she would always ask for her peppermint ice cream sissy had such a big family that loves her so much and will never forget her
So sorry to read about "Sis" in the paper today., She was such a wonderful person and was so nice to me. I enjoyed talking to her at the church. I know she is going to be so missed by you and her family and friends. Wish I could be at the service this Sunday, but have been sick with the RSV Virus and just haven't been able to get anywhere, not even to church. I do wish I could be there Sunday though. You and "Sis" both were always so friendly to me and hope you are doing well. You and your family are all in my thoughts and prayers.
