My condolences to the entire Vann family. Mama Vann taught me how to sew during my preteen years. So I have reaped from the seeds she had planted in my early years. She was truly a blessing to me growing up in Country Club Crest. She will be missed. May God continue to keep His loving arms around and comfort you all.
