I was so sorry to read of your loss! I will always
remember our days at SWB and all the fun we
had, a, bunking party at my house, wedding and
baby showers, water carnival events and etc. I
know you took good care of her and did all you
could. Una was a sweet person and adored her
sisters and I'm sure her son was the light of her
I knew Una from work at SWBT. She was a great lady. I will always have good memories of her.
Billie and Kathleen,
Just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
With Love,
Gloria
Una was my second Cousin whom I recently got back in contact with two years ago via facebook.
As a kid growing up in Batesville, I lived down the road from Una and her parents. I loved her and her sisters and I have very fond memories of them.
I am very grateful to have found Una and be able to talk to her again after so many passing years. May she rest in peace, for God loves her and so do I.
The Little Rock Life Member Council/AT&T Pioneers send their collective condolences. May God's Love be with you as family members.
Una was such a lovely and compassionate lady who will be greatly missed. She had a giving heart that was full of love for her family and friends and those in need. Our love and deepest sympathy is extended to Adam and her family.
I grew up with Una we were like sisters.
Rest in peace with God my sweet friend.
Someday we will all be together.
