Dear Jeff and family;
We were so saddened to learn of your Mom’s death. I know there is and will be a real void left in your lives. I remember Aunt Grovia from my childhood when she lived with Granny and Aunt Kate. She impressed me with her stylish dress and attractiveness. She always had a smile and a kind word of encouragement. We always enjoyed visiting with her and Uncle George. She meant so much to our family. Your Mom was loved and will always be remembered and cherished in our hearts and memories.
We love you and pray that each of you will be blessed with the grace of God and find comfort and hope in His promise of everlasting life and a spiritual reunion. I’m sure that a joyous reunion is occurring with her beloved family that preceded her. Nonetheless with our human frailty, we grieve the loss of your Mom.
With Love,
Harold and family
