Melissa,
I was so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Your mom was such a sweet neighbor to us when we lived on Princeton Street in Irving. My daughter, Misty and I always enjoyed hanging out with you, Stephen and your Mom when all the kids would play outside. I pray that the Lord gives you peace and comfort during this very sad and difficult time. May the love and memories that she left you be a comfort to you and your family.
My deepest condolences,
Celia (Myrick) Givas
