So sorry for your loss. Wishing the peace of Our Lord be with you and the family.
GOD BLESS MY WHOLE FAMILY.
We liked to call her “Happy Bottom”
When we lived in Florida Aunt Gladys opened her home to the overflow of guests. She was the last of her brothers and sister
She was likely welcomed with open arms . Happy and at peace now
