Kitty was a very special neighbor when I was growing up. I will always have fond memories of her as kind, sweet and gentle...and always with a smile. Condolences and prayers to you Darlene, and the rest of the family.

Trula was a very kind and humorous person that never met a stranger and tried to be friends with everyone. I (Kathy) played Bingo with her at Hardees, McDonalds and the Library. My friend Willie Ellis and I enjoyed the times we shared Community Meal with her and our other friends at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church on a monthly basis. She was a dear and sweet lady that will be missed by all. May the good Lord bless and keep her family as they deal with the loss of this precious angel. She was preceded also in death by her dear friend Edna Lagerholm last October. Heaven has truly gained both of these into their angelic realms. May they rest in peace.
