I will always remember and cherish many memories of Sissy with my mother MARY R. GREENE, and memories of her and Duchess, and memories of her & Jack. But my last memory of Sissy was a month ago when I saw her in Walmart for the 1st time in about a year, and I will cherish that day and those precious moments of her smile and loving persona she always carried about her, no matter what and our last hug and exchange of I Love You’s. I’ll miss you Sissy. See you again, in heaven . Love you so much. May you Rest in Peace now.
To Rita, Bookie and family, my sincere sympathy is extended.
loved yu Sissy ,,,you always came and hugged me ,,,when yu saw me ,,,you were very special ,,loved yu and will miss yu
My condolences to the family. Take comfort from Gods word the Bible. This is a distress time for the family but in Psalms 461 it states God is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress. Also it is so encouraging to read Isiah 258 which states He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. What a wonderful blessing for your and your entire family to enjoy.
