Lena and Audrey’s Family, We were distressed to read about Audrey in this morning’s paper. I remember her from days in high school and remember too your Mother Nelle working with Don Young. We are never ready to lose our loved ones. The only comfort has to be our Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the manifested concern of caring friends. We are thinking of you and hope it helps in some small way to know that others do care. Zunita and Joe
Janet,
We are so sorry about your Mom. She was a gentle spirit. We loved to watch her and Eloise carry on together.
If you need us, please call us.
Ms. Mendez was always such a sweet and courteous lady, I will really miss seeing her out about the neighborhood and out buying for her antique business. I remember how sweet she and her husband, Reuben, were to me! She was a very gracious lady. God bless you the family!
Janet and family: I was very sorry to read about your Mom’s passing. I enjoyed working with her and getting to know her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
