Mother and I send our deepest
wishes for your well being in your time of need. God bless you and your family…
Mrs. Midgette was a dear and kind person in the short time I’ve known of her at work and would be sadly missed.
My condolences to each of you.
I was very fond of Aunt Blanche,the last time I saw her she was here in the hospital. She talked to me about my heart being right with God,because my family has a tendency to go fast.
Love to all,Merita
