Thank you for the love and kindness throughout the years. You knew by my living in NewYork, how much Tonya and I missed our grandchildren. You offered us a place to stay about 2 months ago when we last spoke. I told you how much I appreciated it during this pandemic but I wouldn't subject anyone to this. You have been there for us all throughout the years. Making us feel that one was no more important than the other. We all felt loved. Rest well, you did a great job. Thank you! XOXO

Love Scott

Mary Lou thank you for being such a sweet mom to my best friend Brenda. I have many special memories throughout my teenage years when you made us laugh until we were crying. I know you are at peace now with your Lord and all your family and friends who were waiting for you but know many are here missing you!!!
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.
