Geneva was always a good friend to me. I fondly remember taking classes with her at UCA when we both were seeking degrees in education. The Bill Stephens family has always been special to me and my family and my prayers are with you all .

Sonya and Steph, I just learned of your Mom’s death. I am so shocked. Your Mom was such a good person and always was so good to me. I didn’t know about your Dad’s passing until today. Life is so different after your parents are gone. There are so many times that I wish I could tell my Mom something and how glad she would be. I am sure you know what I mean!

God bless you young ladies as you adjust to life without your Mom.
