I’m so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.
Remember the good times and they will return a smile to your face! Thoughts and prayers to you and yours. Much Love!
I remember Aunt Julia from my childhood, she was always loving and funny. Condolences to my cousins and all of the family, what a gift to have her 98 years!
I remember Aunt Julie mostly when I was younger. She always had a smile on her face and would tell us stories. I will remember her humor and kindness.
Loved Mrs. Wilson as I called her growing up.
Her daughter Annie was my dearest friend from grade school.
Mrs. Wilson was as funny as Annie was. She was always fun to be around. They took after one another. Couldn’t have asked for better friends.
So sorry for your loss, we will be thinking of you guys!
