To Kenny, Tahira and Family,
My sincerest condolences for a lady who was more than a neighbor and friend; she was family as all of you are. Your mom´s loving and caring spirit will forever be felt by all who knew her; and although she is no longer with us, we can find comfort in knowing she is with God. I continue to pray for the family´s continued strength and comfort. Love you much.
