Dear Penny, I was not aware our mother's had the same name. So sorry to hear about your mother; I know you will miss her. Miss our good times together - but I guess we have all outgrown that but it was sure fun. We have never forgotten our friends such as you during our trying times...God Bless and we love you.

So sorry to hear about Retha. She was a great lady. I worked with her many years at the shirt factory and have lots of fond memories. She will be missed here on earth but we know she is in a far better place free from all sickness and worry. May God give you comfort and help to deal with you loss.
