I am Sylvia Ford....I lived next door to Mrs Durham back in the 50s/early 60s....I have lovely memories with her as our neighbor as I was growing up....I joined the Air Force in 1965....didn't move back until the
late 70s.... I would always drive by to see if she was sitting on her porch for a visit.....she was always glad to see me with a big hug....I'm sure she will be missed by all....

May you find comfort in the many memories. Please know that your loved one is in God's memory. "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.
