To Carson Johnston family and Osborn Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, in the passing of your mother and grandmother. I have memories of Mrs Leota, as a child living in Loretto, her working at the store for so many years, and knowing your family's. She was a very sweet lady.
May God hold you close.
Prayers and sympathy,
Patsy Earnest Michael and Dorothy Earnest Family.
