Vanita was such a nice, beautiful soul. We realized that a long time ago. I knew her before Mike did. She was my uncle reggie’s sister. Mike met her later when she called because she heard he plowed driveways. He did it for years. Sincere condolences to the family. May she rip with her entire family.
We are so sorry for the loss of your Mom and grandmother. We got to know her when we attended all the gatherings you had in honor of David, Mike and Alyssa. She was a very beautiful and kind person.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and we pray that God will give you the strength to get thru this. Just remember Our Heavenly Father has called her home and she and Pops will be together again for ever !
My condolences on your loss. I have many a fond memory of walking next door to hang out with Dave, knocking and seeing her peek out the window and say “Come on in Joe, you don’t need to knock”!
