I had actually knew her she was always a sweet lady and you could so tell her husband loved her very much. She is up there with my Nanny now and I’m sure just a talking away. May God be with the family for their grieve and know one day you will see her again.
Thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends. I personally knew her and the family. She will be truly missed by many!
Heaven has gained a beautiful Lady! I have no doubt she is up there, waiting for us, and having a great time with loved ones gone on ahead of her. My prayers will be with the family to endure this great loss from your lives. May God comfort you all.
