Our family of six kids grew up across the street from the Bearden family of six kids. Being an unwed mother, Mrs. Bearden never treated me OR my daughter differently. Whether I was involved in fundraising or just earning extra income, she was always generous.
She and I have had many pleasant conversations over the years. I had the utmost respect for her.and I will truly miss her. Condolences from the entire Toutcheque extended family. Rest in Peace “LV”.
I’m so sorry for your loss. She was such a kind, sweet and humble lady. Prayers for peace and comfort during this very difficult time.
