To Tashawna and family, I want to give you my deepest sympathy for your loss. Mrs. Ware was a very sweet woman who I came to know through being friends with her daughter Tashawna and also she was my neighbor. I will miss seeing and talking with her. She always had a smile on her face. Mr. Ware, Tashawna and the rest of the family I hope you will all keep a place in your heart for Mrs. Ware and I pray that God will see you through. Tashawna keep looking up and if you need anything just let me know. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
