So sorry to hear about your Mom.
You are in our prayers. Remembering all the great vacation bible schools we had at Prospect. Our mother considered Ms McBay as one of her closest friends.

I am so sad for the loss of your mother, but what a blessing that she is free from her suffering on this earth, and has gone to a better place. I always remember how pleasant and loving she was, and the beautiful family she raised. May God bless you during this time.

Geraldine’s family, I am sorry for your loss of Geraldine, she was such a sweet person. I feel like you all were my cousins too as I was with Barbara so much. I know Ozzie, Jerry and Glen better than I do her children. So many years have gone by and I don’t get to see you all. I do not see Barbara but we talk a lot. Love to you all. Joyce
