Ms Stanley, thank you so much for sending us this message. It’s not about how many letters, words or the length of the message that matters, it the thought of sending it to the family when it is needed the most.
Jesse
Her (Mama Jane) wonderful behavior and gentle nature can never be erased from our hearts. My condolences to the Evans Family.
Mollie, these words go a long ways and it probably means the most to the family. You will always be a member and a part of this family, but, to not have been married into the family for over 40 years and feeling the way you do speaks volumes to how our mother being special to you and what she meant to you. Thank you so much, and as you said, her gentle nature can never be erased, and neither can her memories.
Jesse
