Dear Carolyn & Steven

We were all very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She was a great lady. I have many great memories of her. If there is anything that we can do for you please don't hesitate to ask.

Dear Carolyn & Steven:

We were so sad to read that your mother passed away. We had a nice chat about our happy memories of your parents store and how it was a part of our childhood. We remember our mother and her fussy choices of fresh oranges and how she hounded your dad for the best ones. Having lost both our parents, we can sympathize with what you are going through now and how it feels to be on our own. Just remember that old friends are keeping you in their prayers and know that it will get better with time. Love, Paul, Karen, Janice, and Joyce Green
