I really enjoyed the pictures that were posted. It's been a really long time since I've seen any of your family, but I remember you well. I have good memories of when your family would go to Sunshine and we would be there at the same time.
My condolences to all of you in the loss of Frances.

Charles and I would like to express our sympathies at the home going of your mother. Charles' mother passed in September of 2015 and I lost my Daddy in January, 2016. So hard to loose parents. May God give your family peace during this difficult time.

Prayers for comfort to all.

Rest in Peace now Mrs. Robertson after a long life of hard work and raising a successful family. Barbara Satterwhite-Hoots
