Condolences
While I didn't know Deloris personally, I remember the many cards she sent to my mom, Elva Barr. They would often write back and forth. And yes, she was always the first Christmas Card that my mom received every year. Prayers for comfort and peace for the family.
Doris: So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. We were one of the many people on her Christmas mailing list. Always enjoyed her cards and the enclosed note. Please accept our deepest condolences.
