Mrs. Almeda was our neighbor when I was growing up. I remember her grooming dogs. She was a nice lady and always remembered me whenever I saw her. She will be greatly missed. Prayers for the boys and her grandchildren
What a wonderful & sweet person - She was the best dog groomer ever (30 years ago) A beautiful soul
Prayers & hugs for the family. Cherish the memories.
Mr. Mike, Mrs. Teresa, and entire family, we were so sorry to hear of your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God will give you comfort and peace in this time of sorrow. We love yall.
So glad to have known Kathleen. We met through Eastern Star. She was always a joy to be around and helpful with our projects. Other than meetings, there were some one on one visit which I really enjoyed. I had looked forward to more visits. As things changed and gave me time, they changed for her restricting visitors. My sympathy to all the family. May God always comfort you and the sweet memories help you through the rough days.
So sorry to hear of Kathy's loss. A good friend and dear person.
