Sharlet and family—our deepest sympathies to all of you in the loss of your mother. It was our pleasure to have met her on a few occasions, and even join her for an “Elvis” concert. We have some great memories, and know that all of you do too. May they offer comfort during this difficult time.

Sharlet, so sorry for your loss. May you gain peace in your heart as you move forward from this moment in time. I’m here if you need anything. You have my number.
our deepest sympathy to Lillian’s family. She was a wonderful person, a great kind friend and dear neighbor. Lillian left me with so many sweet memories of times at her house, playing with Shirley. She graced this world as only a special mother can.Never minded our mud pies, always served snacks that were so tasty and made life for the kid I was very happy. I will never forget her. She was a special lady.
