Monticello, AR Monday, February 14, 2022 My heart and prayers are with you, Leesa, as you bury your Mom today. Your Mom and mine were close friends for all of my life. I have always thought of her as extended family and I am going to miss her. Mom is still recuperating and Lynne and I are waiting until she is stronger to tell her about Mary Lou. May God’s Grace and mercy strengthen you and all who loved her.Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest In Peace.. Amen.
