Dell and I worked together at Wachovia Bank many many years ago. She was always a kind and sweet lady. I remember hearing many stories about her children. Love & prayers to the family!
This precious lady loved her family so very much!! She loved talking about you, Daryl and Dianne! She was such a light in my world. May our awesome God wrap you in his tender loving care and carry you through this difficult time. I’m a better person for having known her.
Dell and I worked together for years with Wachovia. She and I were both Utility Clerks in the ARP area. She was a sweet friend. I still have the beautiful crock pot she gave me and my husband 33 years ago as a wedding gift. I’m so sorry to hear of her death. Thanking about the family today and praying for peace.
