Steve, Lisa & Family,
My deepest sympathy at this time of grief. Our mothers shared a time of closeness in their past and I feel your sadness today. May your sadness turn to peace in the weeks and months ahead. -Melodie (Upchurch) Gill

I am so saddened to hear of Lo’s passing. I worked with her in The Breakaway at St. Francis for a couple of years. I was a young “filly” to her and she took me under her wing. Lo would entertain me with her silly songs and kept me smiling throughout the day. I ended up naming a son Cooper and I will always remember her. I pray that you draw near to The Lord in this time of sorrow.
Sincerely,
April Mattingly
