I am so sorry to hear about Alma recently passing. My Mother Janet Sue Rhodes-Larson always told of how special Ma, Pa and your family was to her. I suppose now they are all having a wonderful celebration together and are very happy. It is AMAZING what a wonderful long life she had. God Bless you during your sorrow your family will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I remember visiting with my mom and she would always want to see your family and get caught up when we came from Florida.

Jerry & Eddie I feel as if I have known your mother all of my life. She was such a special lady and we all loved her. My mother always enjoyed being with her when they worked together when we were in elementary school at Candler. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Miss Alma always had a smile for me and sweet pat on my hand. I know she’ll be missed by her dear family. Godspeed, friends.
