I was a member of St. Gabriel Catholic Church in Greenville NC. I no longer live in North Carolina but I remember seeing her often at Mass. After my Husband passed away in 2015 I moved out of state in 2016. She was a very nice lady to me and my late husband(Curtis L. Ward & Grace Ward. God blessing to the family.
