I knew Vada for a short time but in that short time I knew her, I felt very very blessed. She warmed my heart so much. I wish her family strength to make it through these tough times. May peace be with all of you.
Lynn, Kenny & Greg, I am so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and Prayers will be with you all during this difficult time.
KENNY & GREG; SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR MOM. SHE WAS A VERY NICE LADY. WILL KEEP YOU IN OUR PRAYERS.
We would like to send our sincerest condolences to the Hargus family. In Life, all individuals will eventually pass, but it is never easy for the family members when this occurs.
