Sandy. My thoughts and prayers are with you in the this time of saddness. Your mother touched so many lives with her thoughtfulness and kindness. I hope that memories of her and her life will bring you comfort in the days to come. She was and still is one of the special people you hope to meet along life's journey. I feel fortunate to have known her.

Berle and family. I was sad to hear of Ruth's passing. She was a delightful Christian Lady who was always an inspiration to her Church and pastors, to include me. Just as God blessed her with a long life, she has been a blessing to many people. May The God of Comfort be with you all. Rev. Dr. Robert L. Morris, Jr

I was so saddened to hear about Mrs. Jolliffe. She and Mr. Jolliffe have always been two of my favorite people; I can't remember a time not knowing them. She was a very kind, thoughtful, friendly person and was a very good neighbor. I know your hearts are heavy at this time, and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
