Prayers of comfort and strength for family and friends of our beautiful Aunt Dot. She loved having family around her. We loved her so much.
So sorry for the loss of Nana, she was a wonderful woman. Her whole family is in our prayers. God Bless you all!
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of Mrs. Bradley. I have known her most of my life, from being Bill Bradley’s mother to the drug store and being a customer where I worked. She was a loving wonderful person and I really liked her.
Prayers to Bill, Kitty and their families during this very difficult time.

I loved Mrs. B , we had a great time at Griffith and Feil together.
I will miss Nana (that’s the name I have called her since I was 7 years old.) Nana was an amazing woman who I admired and envied. Her mind was sharp until the end. I feel truly blessed to have grown old with Nana, Kitty, and Jeri Lynn. They are the best!
