I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Ms. Elona. I was on vacation when I received word that she had passed on. I considered her a good friend when she was in our living center located in Malden Mo. I will truely miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as they mourn the loss of a great lady. Elona was a sweet, kind and wonderful lady and it was a pleasure knowing her. May God Bless.

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. I remember so many parties as a little girl when both of your parents would be there and you dad playing the harmonica. I miss those days.
May God Bless all of you at this time.
