Dear Marion, Linda and family, we were so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother and grandmother. Ms. Ola was always so kind to us when we visited her. Even as her health declined, she always welcomed us with a smile. May God bless you with the peace of mind that she is home with Him and free of all earthly pain and sorrow.
