I didn’t know Modena personally but I got her Sunday school lessons every week. My very good friend is the sister of Moderna’s husband. She was a giving person. She’ll be missed by all who knew her.

I met Modena in March 1980 as we worked together in Word Processing with the City of Little Rock.
She was a beautiful soul and her eyesight did not dim her Spirit. My deepest condolences to John and the entire family.
