Deepest Sympathy to the House and Thompson family. prayerfully submitted The Roberts Family

Family we are truly sorry for the loss of my sister Gloria. She will always be in our thoughts. She assisted in the child care of our oldest son, much appreciation for her efforts. There will never be anyone quite like my sister and words do not do justice to how my heart aches. I think the impact she made in the lives of those around her is a testament to the kind of person she was. (RIP) Bo and Daphne
