I knew Effie during the time she attended St. Matthew United Methodist Church in Mesa. We would often chat about my granddaughter who had joined the National Guard and my mother who also used a walker. When Effie learned that my mother didn't have tennis balls for her walker, Effie, bless her heart, sent mother some. Please accept my sincere sympathy.
