I’m so sorry to hear of Mrs. Gallahan’s death. I spent many hours at your house, and she was a large part of my teenage years. I know she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Just heard of cousin Dorothy’s passing today. She was my Mom’s (Kitty Fleming) first cousin. She was such a sweet, nice lady with the most beutiful skin. So sorry I could not make the viewing or service. Love to my family.
Dear Aleta,
I was so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I have thought of her often. She was always so kind and thoughtful. I can remember her from Elementary School. She was a special lady.
Dear Connie,
So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. My thoughts are with you at this time.
Sincerely,
Courtney
