Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
JOAN, THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE WE JUST TALK LAST WEEK AND I GOT THE PICTURES YOU SENT ME OF MY MOTHER WHO SHARES THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS YOUR MAMA AND THEY HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR YEARS. I AM SO SORRY WE ARE OUT OF TOWN DURING THIS TIME. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DURING THIS TIME. I REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES I SPENT AT YOUR HOME WITH YOUR PARENTS AND JUDY AND FAYE YEARS AGO.AND WE WE ALL SENT TO FALLS ROAD.GOD BE WITH YOU ALL ALWAYS LOVE, SYLVIA EZZELLE LONGI
Our heartfelt sympathy is with you and Earl as you lay your mother to rest. Our families were joined first by marriage and I can still remember Faye bringing Rhonda to see our mother. During that same time, your mom and dad were faithful members in the infancy of Falls Road Baptist Church where we would later attend. Your mom was always quiet and unassuming but their testimony was well known by church members. Heaven is a better place now that your parents have been reunited. It gives us all com-fort that as believers, we will one day join that happy chorus and forever sing the praises of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Until then may God’s mercy and goodness sustain you through this difficult trial. In Christian love, the Willifords.
