Sending our sympathy and prayers. When living in Owego, NY, she was our neighbor up the road. We spend many hours visiting each other. Also went on vacation to Cape Cod together. We missed her/them when they moved to Hawaii. We had a great time visiting her and Clarence there though, and we also visited her -in Colorado Springs on a Senior Saints trip which is the last time we saw her. Many great memories of a great Christian lady. With love to all her family. Bill and Nel Briggs
