My sincere condolences to the rest of her family. I always
enjoyed listening to the conversations she and my mom (Mary
Ola) would have on a weekly basis. They would talk for over
an hour each time and I know they truly enjoyed those
moments. May God Bless her, my mom, Shirley! Bobbie,
Vada, and Herbert. I know they are reunited with their mommy
and daddy and each other. ❤️
