Janet, Julie and David.
So sorry to learn of your beloved mothers passing. Awanda was one of the sweetest persons I've had the pleasure of knowing, (and always laughing with)
Always a smile on her face, and a more than willing attitude to assist a church member with a request.
My sympathies...... Charlene Stauder
