My sincere condolences to the family for the loss of your love one may prayers strengthen you and memories comfort you and may our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father who loves us comfort your heart and make you firm 2 Thessaloians 2:16,17.

Praying God is wrapping His loving, comforting arms around each of you. Also praying that the memories of times shared with your Mom (Grandmother) will also comfort your hearts. Mrs. Fleming was such a nice neighbor. Even though we rarely spoke with each other, I will miss our waves to each other as we passed by.

Sympathy for our loss. Thelma was so kind and carding for a young married couple.
