Sending our love Suzanne. We were out of the state during the holiday.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family
Condolences on the loss of your mom. May God watch over you and help you at this time.
Suzanne & Family,
For the many years they lived across the street from each other, Mrs. Bloodworth and Grandma Skippy were thick as thieves; and I cannot tell you how grateful and appreciative Grandma was to have a kind and caring neighbor like your mother. Whether it was doing things that Grandma was physically unable to do herself or simply calling/walking over to check on her, Mrs. Bloodworth was a true friend who Grandma definitely missed when she could no longer live alone. I am also personally grateful to Mrs. Bloodworth for being an equally wonderful neighbor to me after I took over Grandma’s house. My deepest sympathies for the loss of your mother & grandmother. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
