Condolences

Grace,Sharon and Ruth, Your Mom and Dad always made me feel like they were interested in me and encouraged me. I was blessed to know them both. May God be with you in the days ahead. I guess the WE ladies feel like they're in a WIC circle meeting with so many in Heaven now.

Sharon, Ruthie and Gracie,
I know you all know what a very special lady your mom was and what memories you must have as her daughters. I fondly remember she and Mr. Covington gardening with mom and dad down on Merchant Hope Road those many summers ago. Rest in the knowledge that your mother is rejoicing with her Lord in heaven.
