Dear Paula, Ed, Susan, Bethany and all the Efaw Family,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the death of your Mother and Grandmother. She was such a friendly lady. Will remember seeing her sit on the porch of that big stately home on Main Street and seeing she and your Dad in church.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Blessings,
