To All the Family of Our Beloved Edith Kay:
We were very saddened to hear of the loss of our dear sister and friend. My mind went to our childhood days when I and one of my siblings would exchange letters with her and some of her siblings on a weekly basis. It was during the early years growing up in the church that we formed a bond that would last over the years.
We share in your grief, praying God walk with you in this hour, and comfort you like only He can.
With Deepest Condolences and Love,
Clabe & Juanita Deas Smallwood
