Condolences to the Family

Dear Barbara Ann – I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I do not remember her well but she and my mom were grand friends. I do remember you though and hope you can recall times playing together at Grandmother Judith’s house – in her yard usually full of tomatoes. God bless you in your sorrow and give you peace.

I would like to extend my condolences to my cousin, Barb, and her family, in the loss of a mother and grandmother. Aunt Edna was quite a character, and I have many great memories of her while I was growing up. The world will be a little bit emptier without her here in it. May she rest in peace-

We are so very sad @ the loss of our dear friend, Edna! She was the morning greeter for Frank, as he awaited my exit from CV! We continued our correspondence after we all had no need to be @CV! Sweetest lady-will be in our hearts always!
