To a beautiful woman inside and out who deserved so much better than she received with the exception of her daughter and grandkids. May you rest in peace until we all meet again in the Most High’s Kingdom forever and death, tears, and pain will be removed forever. Thank you for your love and thank you for my 2 daughters.
God bless you family, be at peace and continue to hold onto God’s unchanging hand. Love you. 🙏🏼
Henderson Family & Jennifer’s daughters. She was a beautiful woman and had a heart of gold. She was everything you want as a friend. My daughter Raynelle and her were the best of friends in Pa. She will be greatly missed & always loved. Far away in miles but close in heart. R.I.H.P 💖😇
