I am very sorry for your loss of this wonderful woman. She obviously touched many lives, and her family will never be the same without her. God Bless you all in this very hard time.

I will always remember the 17 year old girl at Central High School who married my brother Orlynn. Always smiling, never a cross word or a frown. Always kind. She was a good mother to her children and a good sister-in-law. She will truly be missed. I am so glad I got to see her when I visited GJ two years ago. Mary Hetherington Stanford
