    Nancy and I want to express our condolences for the passing of your mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. We enjoyed our days living in their home in Kirklin that we purchased. We are in Canada visiting our son-in-law and unable to come to the funeral home. May God richly bless Alfretta’s family.
