Carla and Family so sorry to hear about your loss. We have you in our thoughts and prayers

Carla, it seems your family and mine have been interwoven for all our lives. I am so sorry that you had to say goodbye to your precious mother. She will be missed. My youth and young adulthood is filled with memories your family and the fun we shared. Mollie a second grandmother to me and someone whom I loved dearly and still miss and Bea, such a heart, I haven't encountered outside of family. The hours spend around a table or across a bar playing Rook, Skip Bo, or Rummy were amazing, but it was the time spent talking and just being with these marvelous women and hearing their stories, made it so worth wild. My heart breaks with you and please know I will pray for you and if I get there first I'll save you a seat at the table and you do the same for me. 😪

Carla and family, I am so deeply sorry to hear of your loss. Beatrice was one of my favorite! I loved listening to all of her stories. She had such a loving personality. I think my favorite story was of her on her bike at RCC. When she came to the hospital after her accident. I pray each one of those precious great-grand babies. She loved them so much. My prayers are with you at this difficult time and also with all of the family. The Morehead Family loves you dearly Carla. May God be with you, and give you strength.
