To Bert, Eileen, Ellen and all the family: It was a pleasure getting to know your Mom. She was warm and loving and such a delight to be around. I was saddened to hear of her passing. I wish you all peace and love and the happiest of memories of your Mom.

Many wonderful memories are held close to our hearts! We were so fortunate to have such a loving family living in our neighborhood, for most of our lives! We always knew we were welcome to visit Mrs. Goodson, anytime! She always made us all feel so welcome! Her children, grandchildren, etc. are a true reflection of the love that was prevalent in the Goodson family! Love, and heartfelt sympathy, is extended to the entire "Goodson" family.
