I was so sad to hear of Mrs mahans passing! I had the pleasure of meeting her 16 years ago when I started working at chestnut animal clinic! I consider it a blessing to have known her! Such a sweet sweet person! Heaven has certainly gained an angel!
Rest in peace Aunt Elizabeth
I will miss getting a Christmas card from Elizabeth, she would always write me a note and several times she included some old pictures of my parents, Ellis and Bernice Ward (James uncle and aunt). I looked forward to that each year. I am sorry to hear of her passing. I will keep the family in my thoughts.
Dear Gary, Doyne and Danny,
I was so sad to hear of Aunt Elizabeth's passing. I did not even know she was sick. I sent her an angel a while back and I was going to come see her when I was in Arkansas the next time. I always tried to come see her when I was there on vacation. Sometimes there just wasn't enough time. But I want you all to know I know what you are going through. It is hard to lose your mother. I will be praying for you all.
Love Darlene Bowlin-Harris
