My heart aches right now. Shondra's mom and I were neighbors and best friends. Sondra was this little fiesty 5-6 year old and I saw her grow into adulthood. Her Delores and I are the best of friends and neighbors. Shondra was friends with my girls, Angela Smith and Kiyana Patton. I'm really going to miss her. Delores, earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. To God be all the Glory.
