You were one of the sweetest and most soft spoken ladies I have ever had the honor of knowing. I enjoyed the talks I had with you and the stories you told of growing up in a coal camp. You were a special lady and I know you are at rest now with the Father. I pray for your family that God will be with them in this time of grief and bless them.
