Beverly, I'm Stephanie Riley's mother, Patricia, in Rome. My sincere condolences to you and yours in the demise of your mother, Frankie. I'm grateful for the loving life that you were blessed with, even as she's mourned by you and others. There is a time when you will laugh out loud at memories, and then, there comes a time when you'll weep for memories not made. You'll recognize the beauty in life's pathway, even as you experience the ugliness in this world. You'll embrace hope and joy, at times when it seems your heart breaks... You live...even as you grieve. May you find moments to be at peace as God's solace penetrates your being. Sincerely, Patricia Turner Buford ❤️

I am so sorry to learn that Mrs. Shropshire has transitioned. My deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with Linda and the family. We spent many good times at their house when we were in high school. I pray that God has His big, loving arms wrapped around each family member and will sustain you through this difficult season. May your loved one rest easy in the arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I know she will be missed.
