    Mrs Essie was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever met in my whole life. She had a loving and kind heart and never had a bad word to say about anyone. So sad to hear of her passing away.

    Linda and Karen,
    I was so sorry to hear that your dear mother had passed away. She and your dad are now united. Treasure all the sweet memories you have and continue making them yourselves.
    With Sympathy and love,
