Dear family,
Mrs. Alise was a beautiful lady in everyway. She touched my life with our friendship. Many memories will live in my heart of this caring lady. Jason enjoyed many happy times at her home.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God’s comfort and tender embrace give you strength now and in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Sue
Mrs Austin was supportive of us at our business Harlow Produce Co. We enjoyed seeing her come. It was always a good visit. When Mr Austen passed she brought his brown demi – boots to Bobby. Said she wanted him to have them. He liked, said was so comfortable. Now he wears every day outside and they are just about gone. Mrs Austen passed on Bobby’s birthday. She was a pretty lady. I believe she was partial to Bobby! Had a long life!
Love and prayers
Bobby & Maple Ferguson
