I am SOOOOO SORRY for the loss of your mother/ grandmother. When I was working with you Neva for many years I was fortunate to enjoy your mother’s presence when her and your dad would visit the office. When they would take you out for Lunch after their appt’s and invite me along. I enjoyed their company and listening to what they had to say. I always enjoyed the laughs. She was always very sweet to me. I know she will be greatly missed by your whole family. But in God’s hands is truly rewarding. I will be keeping you all in my prayers. Love your family and you Neva.
