Will be keeping you in my daily prayers cousin. Be Strong! My Condolences to my Aunt Vivian Jones. She is like my 2nd Mother when my own Mother passed on.

Rest in Paradise, Auntie Midge. You were always in good spirits, had a smile for everyone. You left your footprint in the sand, pavement, gravel and winding roads. You’ll always be remembered by all that crossed your path. Stood up for the People, voiced your opinions and concerns. Because you were a loving, caring, compassionate, good hearted soul, that wanted to help the People have a better life. I will always admire you for that. Creator had bigger plans for you, he needed you. What a beautiful angel watching over your loved ones, David, Michelle & Grandchildren. You will be missed but never forgotten. Rest in Peace.

My condolences to your family Michelle. Your mother was such a nice lady and I enjoyed our conversations over the years. She was the best neighbor anyone could ask for. She always looked out for me and my home. I will miss her but I know she is resting in Paradise until we meet again. God bless you with comfort and strength during this time of sorrow.
