Perhaps, you hugged someone or held a shaking hand. Perhaps, you prayed or spoke a kind and comforting word. Perhaps, you sang a lovely song or sent beautiful flowers. Perhaps, you sat quietly in a chair or rendered an unseen service. Whatever was done to console or comfort another, we truly felt your love. Everything done added to our strength and will truly be remembered. On behalf of our loving Sherry and the Southern Family, we thank you. To Verdonna Malone and Angelia Adams, my angels of comfort, thanks for being there.
