Hard to believe it has been six years. I miss our little talks when I brought her Communion. No netter how much pain she might be in , she was always pleasant and ready for a visit. She had very deep faith in God .

My deepest symphathy at the loss of such a wonderful lady. I will miss our visits and the chance to bring her communion. It was a blessing to get to know her and through her the family. She enjoyed telling me about her children, grandkids and great grandkids. She showed me every new picture of
the little ones she received. She was so appreciative of the time I took to visit her. But I received more from her than I gave.
