Recollections & Sympathy For the Family
Post Comment
We want to give our deepest sympathy to the family.
I will miss her dearly, especially our many times we spent an hour or two just talking about the good old days when we were growing up with so many things to do and go shopping in our many stores we use to have. She just loved talking about that every so often.
I loved her like a second mother and miss her already, my dear, motherly neighbor.
