Dear Marcia and Monica: We are all so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom! She truly was a great lady and we know all of you will miss her very much! Now your mom will be taking care of you in the Heavens as you took care of your mom here on earth.
I have so many fun memories of growing up and being friends with you and your family! Your mom introduced us to Hygeia Swimming and loved going with you in the summers! Your mom was very quiet but we always felt welcomed by her in your home! She was patient with us in all our comings and goings. I loved coming over to your home! When your mom came home from work, she was always interested in what we had to say and about our day!
Your mom is truly an angel and what a fun time it was for your mom to meet up again with all those that had gone before her!
Sending you hugs and praying that the memories you have of your mother will bless and comfort you during this hard time and always. Love...
