To the Borden's -please forgive my tardiness and I wanted to reach out to you to extend our deepest sympathy over your loss. I spent years watching Mr. Borden out walking and of course from you Mrs. Borden at the Noank Baptist Nursury School...your sunny disposition let me know that all was well on the home front.
I also just found out Mrs. Borden that you're Victoria & Waynes aunt...and that you were sisters with her Mom. And you lost your other sister the day after your husband. That is too much for one person to handle for sure. And I am deeply sorry for your pain.
May the love of your friends and family carry you through this periond of grief & sadness.
God Bless you.
