Dear Family, I am so sorry for your loss. She will be greatly missed. What a great mom she was. Very caring and loving. I knew her when I was young from going to Emerson with Gail and Jolene and coming to your home to play with Gail, and I got to know the brothers a little. My prayers are with you and your family at this time. May God put his loving arms around you, bless you, and comfort you at this special time.
Love, Cyntha Aiman
