Ken I was so sorry to hear about Aldene. I always loved her. She will be missed but never forgotten. I can only imagine the reunion with Nanny and Grandpa. You will be in my prayers. Love Judy Branks Turner
Thinking of the family during this difficult time. Aldene and I worked together at Square D for many years and I always enjoyed our chats. She was held in high regard by all who knew her.
Rex and Family: So sorry to hear aout the loss of your loved one. We will be praying for the family in the days ahead. Cherish your precious memories until you meet again.
I have known Aldene and her family all my life and loved them all. My heart goes out to all of you.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It was a pleasure caring for Aldene at Chunns Cove. We all loved her very much. I wish I was able to come to the service tomorrow but I’ll be thinking about you all.
