My condolences to family.
Raynard, Ninny and Durrell,
I was heartbroken to hear of your Mom's passing. We all grew up together, and our mothers played such a special role in raising not just their own children, but the whole neighborhood. Your Mom was a part of the fabric of our childhood, kind, always present, and always smiling. The things we learned from our childhood makes us the very people we are today as we carry a piece of them in us. Thanks for sharing her. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. May her memory be a blessing and a source of comfort to you. Keeping you and the family lifted in prayer, Lisa and Mrs. Letha (TX)
