Celestia, my sympathy to you and your family. You will be in my prayers.
Just read about your Mom. I know your heart aches, but you know she’s at peace. Will be thinking of you in the days to come.
Celestia,
I’m sorry your mother has passed on. I know you were a wonderful daughter to her. So many of the ladies who worked at Serbin are now gone. They had a special sisterhood.
I know your fellow members of the Class of ’61 share your grief. Wayne Owens and I enjoyed our visit with you last year. I will try to get by for the service at the church but if I don’t make it, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Our sincere sympathy to all family members over the loss of one so dear, may your fond memories give you comfort in this time of sadness. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time!!
God Bless.
Floyd and Imogene
