To the family of Deloris Ann Jollie, I send my deepest condolences. I had the pleasure of working under and with "Ann" Jollie at Serenity House, in fact she was my first immediate supervisor when I started working there. Her spirit was one of hope to all she came in contact with and that is and will be one of the many things I will always remember about her, along with her laugh and especially her "sayings." Know that God knows what is best for His children and she certainly was His child. I leave you with these few words of comfort "As we stand at the shore, hurting because she's gone, on the other side of the shore, her love ones that went on before her are rejoicing, saying here she comes." May God's grace comfort and keep your family, as only He can.
