Add A Condolence
This kind woman allowed me to live with her family when my parents got divorced so I wouldn't have to switch schools in the middle of my 10th grade year. It made such a difference in my life during a very hard time. Not to mention she was always upbeat, funny and I ate way too much of her amazing Southern food. Love her and her family! Heaven is blessed to have her and condolences to all her family who are dealing with such a tremendous loss.
