Dear Cedric, David and Patricia,

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. She was such a sweet lady and I will truely miss her. Before her illness, I would always look for my cousin Irene at North Gayton or Springfield when ever I came to church. I understand your loss, since daddy has been gone almost 3 years now, but I still miss him. Look to the Lord to ease your sorrow.
Top, Jeanette and Hilda
