Hilda, I am so sorry to hear you have lost your Mom. I reconized her picture before ever seeing the name. I can remember how pretty I thought she was when we were in Beech Grove School. This picture is the way I can still remember her. You look so much like her. My prayers are with the family and may God's comfort surround you as you adjust to the void in your life. Love ya..

Many precious childhood memories revolve around Lorena and Beech Grove Baptist Church. I know she will be greatly missed by her family and friends. She is in Heaven now visiting with the friends that have gone before her.
