  1. Hello Carol, Judy, Bob and Families, Kenny and I are so very sorry for the loss of your dear Mother. Such a special lady she was! I will never forget the time we had the most wonderful pork roast at your house. I was never able to perfect a roast the way she did. She was gracious at all times and you were all so blessed to be in your family. God bless each one of you. Sending love and prayers from Kenny and Sheila Orlando.

  2. So sorry for your loss. I can remember running down the path to their house to visit. She was a wonderful aunt and such a kind woman. I regret I cannot make it to the funeral due to illness. Prayers to you all. Brenda Reed and family
