Dear Freeman, Darlene and Stacey
I will always remember, Nita as a very kind and gentle lady. I remember her driving me to bible school as a little boy. When we had to do school fundraisers, she always bought something from me. You couldn’t ask for a better set of neighbors as you guys for a little boy growing up. I know she meant a lot to my mother as well. Thinking of you guys,
Dear Darlene and Billy,
We are sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom, Darlene. Please know that you have our love and our in our prayers. Both of your Mothers are watching over you and waiting for the day you will all be joined together.
