Kathy was a dear friend in high school and I remember the special relationship she shared with her Mother. That kind of love is always a blessing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Elsie,
I am so sorry to hear about your sister please know you and your family are in my prayers.
Dear Kathy,
Mom shared with me the passing of your Mom, I’m so sorry. It seems just a few years back we were best friends at Fairview Elem. I remember your Mom being so fun and full of life. The picture in the paper was wonderful, she looks the same I remember. I’m praying for you and I know you have wonderful memories to hold on to. I would love to see you sometime. God bless you and comfort you during this time.
Love,
Connie S. Hensley
