Kenny & Family. I am so glad that Margaret Norfleet send me an e-mail of your mothers passing. It is a very hard experience to go through. Years have passed since we were neighbors, but love and concern for our family through Christ does not.

To all family and friends my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know from all the memories, that my mom has shared about her and Nellie she is rejoicing in Heaven and knowing that one day we can see her again and be able to rejoice forever with her gives me comfort and peace, I pray that God will give each one that Nellies life touched peace and comfort that knowing she is with God. God Bless
