Dear Sue, Larry, and Steve,
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the death of your beloved Mother Nita...I will miss her phone calls, always with an upbeat message, and sometimes, sad news of the passing of one of our friends. We shared many phone calls, and I was lucky to have had a nice lunch with her a short time ago, where we talked of many things. Saying, goodbye to her last week, was important to me, as well as to her, so now, my dear friend, Nita, "God speed and rest in peace."
Love always,
Ruthie

Dear Judd Family,
I am sorry for your loss and hope that fond memories help during this difficult time. Jaunita was a great source of comfort to me when my mother, Marie Silveus, passed away. My mother did Jaunita's hair and spoke highly of her and all the stories they shared. May peace be with you. Lara Baker
