Heartfelt condolences to Jessie's family. Jessie was on my weekly meal delivery run and I always enjoyed my conversations with her. She had a great sense of humor and had something funny to say to me so many times!! I will miss seeing her and her little dog!! Rest easy Jessie!! I will certainly miss you!! Your Pal Sal
Tess,I am sorry for yours and Penny’s loss. My prayers are with you both.
Jenny Bonner, my daughter, was with me when she received information of the passing of your sister, mom, grandmother. She shared this with me. So many years have passed since I have seen any of you. I have remembered you often. I remember the pleasure of getting to know all of you and your mother. I recall my first Christmas in Norfolk and the joy of raising our blended voices in Christmas carols and some fantastic harmonies, especially “Blue Christmas”, Elvis’ style! I was so welcomed as part of your extended family. I lift prayers for you all for your loss. Please know my heart is saddened, too.
