My heart was so heavy. I forgot to sign my name. And it wouldn't let me go back to sign it. My name is Melody Scott. May

Omg! I didn't know that Ms. Sandra had passed. Your mom and my mom was classmates. I met your mom, when she was coming to Health Plus faithfully. And I told her who my folks was. And from there. We would talk for hours. My mother passed away in 2011. I saw your mother had the Mall. She give hug that I will never forget. She was truly a beautiful woman and will be missed. My prayers are with you.2

My heartfelt condolences to the family and prayers for peace, strength and comfort. Blessings, Karen L Williams
