My condolences to the Covington's family on the passing of their mother she was a wonderful woman it was a joy just saying hello when we saw each other in passing she always had a beautiful smile. Mrs. Covington was a fixture of Tor Bryan Estate Fort Washington Neighborhood over the 35 years I lived there. I will truly missed her it's never easy to lose a parent, no matter your age. I pray for your peace and comfort as you continue your life journey without your mother's earthly presence. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love Joan
