Kristi, Jerry and family I'm so sorry for your loss of this wonderful Lady. Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sure after 96 years she had touched many lives and will be remembered fondly.

My dad and Rilda had a very unique situation, he was her uncle, but they were so close in age that she felt like his sister, and he loved her as such - even closer than many of his sisters, as they were so far apart in age.В  I grew up with her and OV being always close to the family.В  I will never forget the many times they sat with family and sick members, or made condolence calls, going over and getting the family and home ready for visitors, and being so supportive in any time of need.В  True saints on earth, very beloved by so many family and friends.В  Although my heart grieves, I am glad to know where she is and the company she has now.В  I pray Jerry, Mary(she loved you so dearly and was so very thankful Jerry has you to rely on) and Betty and all her extended family will find the comfort and peace to help them through these lonely times.В  Please know that you would be surrounded and exhausted by us if that were possible, but these times are vastly different from any other we've every known. Love to you all.
