Dear Cranton family -
I had the honor of bringing your mom communion every Friday at the Sterling House for the last 3 years. I am so very sorry for your loss of this beautiful loving mother/woman. Kitty so looked forward to our prayer time and worried about me if I was late. I am sorry to be out of town at this time; but know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
