Jerry and Family, So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I will always remember her and her kindness to me when dad and I lived next door on 25th street. Dad passed away in January and he always talked about her and said that she was his second mother. I know that he was waiting for her when she entered heaven with a big hug. Here on earth have lost a wonderful person, but heaven has gained a beautiful angel who someday will welcome us home. My prayers are with you during this difficult time. Brenda Scott-Pullen

I hope you are all doing well and again I am very sorry for your loss. Deb (Tony and Maxines daughter)
