Garland, and family:

I would like to send my deepest regrets and condolences to all of you. May Ms. Lois' life as she lived it here on earth serve as her ticket into heaven. I know she will be missed. As often as I had the pleasure of hanging with you at the old house when Ms. Katie was alive, your mom made me feel like one of her own. Garland, you know we are still tight and I know you will be strong for your family and friends. Take care and know that you all are thought of during these hard times. I am only a phone call away should you need someone to talk to.

With Love and Sincerity

Stacy and the Wright Family have our deepest sympathy in the pass over of your dear mother who became a special friend of mine. I will miss Ms. Deloris laughter and conversations concerning our grandaughter Taja. Ms. Deloris was a wounderful "MOTHER" and "GRANDMOTHER" and may God be with the family in this time of sadness.
