My heartfelt prayers are sent to the entire family. Mrs. Dove was my Godmother, and I was saddened to hear of her passing. She shared in almost every joyful event in my life from early childhood through the birth of my son, who is 14. Thank you for all the wonderful moments we shared. May God Bless You Always.

My sincere condolences to the family. Esther was a dear friend to me. We shared so many memories together. She was my bowling partner, my Pinochle partner and my daughter’s Godmother ( GARLANDA). I was so proud of her for getting her college degree. Rest in peace my friend.❤
