I regret that I was not able to attend the funeral of my cousin. I was saddened when I got the news. I have many very special memories of us growing up. I will miss her and I will treasure the scarf she made for me.

So sorry for your loss! We really didn't know her very well. When we had the pleasure of her company, she was always smiling. We are praying for the family & regret that we were unable to attend the service.

She was such a dear sweet lady. She was my neighbor when I worked at Gold Connection and later did sewing for me for many years. I never saw her when she wasn't smiling. What a blessing to have known such an amazing woman ! My prayers are with the family during this time. May God give you peace.
