Jane and Trepin,
I wanted to extend my condolences to you both. I remember growing up in First Baptist. Your mom was always very active in church, always quiet and soft spoken. I remember having to come over after school at times, and she was always so kind and sweet.
There are no words that can ease your pain but just know that she is with the Lord now. Please let me know if you need anything. May God bless you and keep you and your family.

Dear Jane,
I send my condolences and prayers to you and your family at this time of sorrow. I have fond memories of Ms Frances and your late father. They were always so kind to me as a boy growing up in Elmont. I remember delivering the evening paper as a young boy and many times I'd stop by for some water or coke. Your mother alWways met at the door with kind words, a gentle smile and encouragement. And how can I forget, your playing the piano for the choir at First Baptist. It was a simple time but the quality was good because our parents and the people of their generation represented a quiet excellence that was seen in their acts toward the young people. I know that she is at peace now and forever more.
