Andrea, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I know how precious she was to you and your family. I loved to hear your Mamaw stories. And see her come to the job. Always good ones. You were blessed to have her in your life. Sending hugs and love. ❤️ Cindy
Ms Lela was always the sweetest lady.
I remember her from the 60s. She loved her family. My prayers are with you each & everyone.
Des and family,
I was so sorry to hear that your grandmother passed away. I spent many weekends over at her house playing with Debbie when we were younger and she visited with my grandparents Pete and Eula Jordan who lived across the street from them. She was always the sweetest lady and always smiling. I know there is a great family reunion happening in heaven. Love to you all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thoughts and prayers for you all. She and Carolyn will be together again.
Praying God’s comfort for the family,
Andrea & Des-
I send my deepest sympathy to you both. It’s really hard to fathom a life without Aunt Lela.
I send you both my love & prayers.
