Please accept sincere condolences from the Williams family(2nd block Plaza Dr.) on the loss of your mother. Mrs. Mossie Rea was a beautiful person with a kind hearted spirit. She always had a smile on her face when she spoke to you.
I was young when she walked on the street selling insurance. She probably had her Bible in that zippered case she carried.
I feel your pain but believe me, things will get better for you.
We know that EARTH HAS NO SORROW THAT HEAVEN CANNOT HEAL. Your mother is in the Master's hand where there is no more suffering or sorrow. Lean on each other for strength and it will be alright.
We love you and we're praying for you.
Dana, Dee & Marisa
