So very sorry for your loss. Prayers for you all
One of the sweetest people in the world. Loved her so very
much for a very long time. So sorry I had not been able to see you in a few years, but she was always in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with each member of her family in the coming months without her, especially Mary Leta and Gordon, Jr. ( that I used to baby sit when they were little) I love you all so much.
Prayers sent to the family at this time. May the Lord bring peace and love to each one.. 🙏💔

Such a sweet heart and always loved everyone so much. Hugs and prayers for her family. She will be missed so much. Huggs and love from Skeeter and I both.
I am thinking of you all during this difficult time.
