To James, Donald,the McGill Family
& the Brown Family,
We were deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your sister. There was something special about growing up on Delaware in the 50's and 60's. One special memory is that we were all family. You could eat at anyone's house if you got hungry and it didn't matter the religion, or the finance level your family was at. Everyone looked out for everyone.
May the Lord continue to watch over you and Keep you in his care as you go through this difficult time. It is true that a spoke in the sibling wheel has been broken but, those memories in our pockets are special and the Lord will carry you during on this journey that you are about to embark upon.
Love to all of you,

Faye
