Condolences to the McAuley, Kindle and Colbert families. With Love From The Feaster, Hall, Colson, Hiser, Stewart and Ford Families.
Sending my Condolences π & Prayers ππ½ to the families. I met Ms Doris at dialysis & believe me she was a true trooper!! We've had so many great conversations there & on the phone. We would take turns calling each other. One thing about her is they knew not to step on her toes cause she definitely kept them straight. I loved that about her. We'd always look after one another when we were there. No one would believe her when she would tell'em her age. She wore it very well. I thank God for allowing me to have her in my life. Rest on my friend you've ran your race & gracefully too. Fly High ποΈβ€οΈποΈ VICKEY MCCULLOUGH & FAMILY
