Love you Norma. Your mom is alright in the mighty arms of the Lord.you had many years with her, therefore,you have many precious memories. Be of good cheer.
I knew Nancy Rooks Given for over 40 some years. I was her adopted New York Godaughter where I reside now. However, being I also had relatives in West Memphis, and being we shared a love of Memphis,it became my second home. Countless visits, letters and phone calls I was so blessed to have her in my life. Also, I appreciated her welcoming me into her Elvis family where we had many great times and I met so many people. We had some wonderful conversations and she never forgot my birthday on the 4th of July. I believe Elvis in a way escorted her home to Heaven as she passed on the day of his anniversary vigil. They are certainly singing their favorite gospel songs like they always did. Love and Condolences to her family and I pray for strength for them at this time. Love you Nancy and God Bless you. Theresa Marie Clarke Alvarez and husband Fred.
RIP
