We are unable to be @ visitation but we just wanted you to know that the family will be in our thoughts & prayers.
Your friends,
Buddy & Anne Grant Underwood
While I did not work directly with her at TJ (before my retirement), I often saw her when I went up on the floor. She always had a smile and sweet disposition. You are in our prayers.
To Rev. Ronnie & Larissa, you have our deepest sympathy. My heart grieves to have my friend (sister) here on earth with us. But God knew she was tired and wanted her to come to heaven and rest. So I take comfort to know she is resting safely in God’s loving arms with no more pain. We have a guardian angel watching over us now. I’m so glad I knew this kind, sweet, God fearing woman that I called one of my many sister/friend, over the years. If you and Larissa, need anything please don’t hesitate to call. Love you both, and to Gayle in Heaven as always before we hung up from talking or seeing each other “ Love You Sis”.
Praying for the Bryant family!
Ronnie and Larissa, please accept my condolences for your loss of Gayle. Please know that I am praying for your peace and comfort.
Love, Cousin Roberta
