You have my sympathy in the passing of a delightful classy lady. We have be customers of Circle V for many years and on a recent visit she commented on my wedding ring set, saying it was just like hers and how special her set was. We had a delightful visit about being married in the same year and how the world has changed over the years and what wonderful lives we have had with great spouses and families.
Treasure the good memories of good times to help with the difficult days ahead.
God Bless, Mary Isom
