Ms.Peggy, we were sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. She was a great Christian woman, and we have some fond memories of her from church. May the Lord be with you, and your families at this difficult time, remember, He only takes the best.

Peggy and Harriet and your families, My heartfelt sympathy. As I have told you, I so regret that I did not have the opportunity to see Aunt Lil one more time and give her a big hug; after a virtual lifetime of my having grown up and old. She is such a sweet recollection, along with Uncle Harry,in the fond memories of my childhood. May she rest in peace and may you be comforted by the thoughts and prayers of those that love you both. With love, Ben
