Not sure what to say?

Erroll Greg, Mr. Curb and Ms Carolyn,

I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Your mom was an exceptional woman. Our families (Eddy and Georgia Mitchell) shared some many great memories over the years that I will never ever forget and hold dear to my heart. Hold on the God’s unchanging hand and know that He will never leave or forsake you. Love you all,

Tanya Mitchell Darensburg

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Ann served the public well at both the SBA and Veterans Administration. She was a dedicated member of NARFE Chapter 41 and was always a joyful person. Ann will be missed by all. May she rest in His peace and rise in His glory.
NARFE Chapter 41
New Orleans, LA

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
