    Diane, so sorry to see this. Your mom was so special and easy going. I’m sure we put her to the test many times. She’s at peace and I’m sure both our parents are sitting down playing cards again!

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this tough time.

    So sorry we cannot be with you all for the service but we will be with you in spirit. I loved Aunt Coletta’s gentleness and calming nature so unlike Mom. I heard Mom reminese many times of their childhood and the love she had for her. I’m glad we got to visit with her and the family the last time we were there. Love, prayers, and hugs to all of you,
    Your cousin Judy ❤️
