DearLuana and Family:
I have many special memories of your mothers special kindness to me and my son Bennie. Such a special lady to remember Bennie through all the years. She has gone to rest in a much better place. She will remain in your hearts forever and take comfort that she will always be looking down on you and smiling with that special little smile of hers. I will say a special prayer today that god will be with you and comfort you.
Remembering your Mom fondly. Your home was my ‘other’ home and in her kindness, she was like my ‘other’ Mom. What a great and wonderful lady! You were blessed. Keeping you and her in our hearts and prayers.
