I remember meeting your mom when I was in the 2nd grade. She was always a beautiful woman from the inside out. She had a gentle soul and was just a pleasant person to be around. May God comfort your family during this trying time.
Hello Theresa, I'm sorry about the loss of your momπMay God Bless You and Diane! I'm sending prayers up for you ! Love Andrea Royster
Dear Aunt Mildred, You were always a warm soul for me growing up. Always welcoming and kind. I remembered my mom (Yvonne) bringing me to your home where there would be cookouts and parties outside in the back. How beautiful to bring family together to have fun and spend time together. These moments is what I will remember forever.
May God bless your soul and may your spirit be with Him. In Jesus name I pray... Amen! Sending much healing to the family. May the comfort of the Holy Spirit be with you all. I pray you all grow in your relationship with God during this time. Allow Him to reveal to you His ways to get a deeper understanding about life and eternity and how this physical life we see is the shortest part of our journey. Many blessings everyone!ππ½
Much Love, LaShawn
