Condolences

My deepest and sincere condolences in the passing of Mrs. Newton. I remember the first time I met her, at the Colonial Heights Food Lion, with her son Shelly. She just made such an impression on me. I will always remember that day. The last time I saw her was at Shelly's service. She showed remarkable strength and dignity as only a mother could. May she rest in the eternal light of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, with her Husband and son. God Bless.
