Sylvia I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. You and Bob and your family are in my prayers.
Sylvia, we are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mother. We will be thinking of you in your time of sorrow and love you and Bob.
We used to go to church with sister Nancy and she was one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever known. She will be missed dearly here on earth but I know she’s with our heavenly Father now.
My heart breaks for you girls. You have my sympathy. I have many memories of your mom and her sweet smile.
God bless y’all !
