Hi. Oh forgive my late condolences.
I just saw this obituary today, February 20, 2022.
Mable and her three kids lived two houses from our home. We spent a lot of time together. Good times.
Summertime was fun. We´d play store for hours.
Ah Mable was beautiful. She was always dressed to the nines, with her hair beautifully done and her high heels.
She had a great relationship with her three kids and they with her.
My sincerest condolences to Debbie, Robert and Ronnie.
Thank you all for sharing the pics. Brought back good memories.
Hugs to you all.
I hope we´ll connect again.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I met Mabel at South Valley Multi-Purpose Senior Center. I will always remember her beautiful smile, and her nice fingernails, she was always so kind.
May our Lord give the Family the strength and togetherness that they will need at this time of their loss.
God Bless.
