Aunt Totty You will be dearly missed.

Basil and family, We are so very sorry for your loss. May Jehovah hold and comfort you and your family during this difficult time. I know you are looking forward to a time of no more death, pain or tears. What a wonderful hope we have in the resurrection. With much Christian Love, Mike and Lisa Davis
Totty was a talented woman who made the world a better place. May you have peace through the Prince of Peace until that great reunion day.
Our hearts and prayers are with you today. Totty was a wonderful lady who inspired us, taught us, and impacted our lives with her love and friendship. We were blessed to know her. Our hearts are sad for us and for you for the loss we share, but rejoice for Totty as she stands today in the presence of our Amazing God!
I will miss you g-ma! I know that you are no longer in pain which makes me smile. You taught me a lot about being a strong woman through the sadness in your life (losing 2 sons & your husband) and the happy, loving times that I was honored to spend with you. I will miss your wonderful breakfasts 😉
Give grandpa Richard, Kevin & Steve hugs and kisses from me. Love you.
