    My sincere condolences to her loved ones who bear the loss of her absence. May she be in Heaven and walking on the streets of gold with Jesus and all the family & friends who have gone before. I pray for her eternal reunion with her beloved husband, Dick, her parents, her brother & sisters, including my own parents, Bobby and Howard.
