Dear Debbie and family,
I am so saddened to hear of Nanny’s passing but I also know she’s with her Lord that she loved.
No more confusion for her and she is totally healed!
I just loved that sweet little lady.
My prayer is that you all will feel God’s peace and comfort in the days and weeks ahead.
Most sincerely,
Terri

To Alta's Family... I'm so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was one of the sweetest most precious women I knew. I worked at McAlpin's with her and I remember when she took her trip to the Holy Land. She was so humbled by that trip. Prayers for you and your family and may God Bless all of you
