I remember meeting Mrs. Alma at Riverside and she was such a sweet lady. She did not want to be a burden even when her family tried to reassure her that they loved her so much that they would do any and all things for her. She was a grateful and gracious lady whom I will not forget.
You all provided her such excellent care and showed the love you had for her. I feel so sure that she enjoyed each of her last months knowing that she would be cared for, loved and supported until her last day.
May Mrs. Alma's legacy and lov bring you comfort and guide you through your grief.
I am only a phone call away if you need assistance.
Be encouraged and blessed.

Please accept my deepest condolences in the passing of your mother, Alma. As I can honestly say that my memory of her and her family will remain as one of being very supportive and strong as the matriarch of the Firesheets family. Please keep in your memory all the love and kindness she showed. I'm sure that memory will be apparent to all that know the family. Tommy and Alma's family will always remain in my heart.
