Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. We cannot see the stars until the sun goes down. Heaven has been enriched by this new addition. I only new Mrs. Oglesby for a short time but she was indeed a delightful person, and she will certainly be missed.Family be encouraged the Lord God of heaven will give you strength to endure this. May the God of peace give you his grace and mercy in this difficult time.

I am going to miss her smile.........her presence is deeply missed. We talked and laughed so hard! I moved from Baltimore, MD a year ago for a job relocation and when I met her she made me feel right at home. Such a beautiful person inside and out and I will miss her deeply.
Rest in Perfect Peace Mrs. A!
