It's almost Christmas. This is the time of year my Mother loved dearly. It has been so difficult to find 😕 peace in loosing our Mother. She will always be in my ❤️ heart. I love and miss you Mama.
Thank You.
Love and prayers to the whole family. God got another angel in Heaven. Know that we will keep you lifted up for God to comfort your hearts wrapping his loving arms around you. Your whole family has served the families of Newton County in more ways than one. We are forever grateful that you shared your precious Mother with us. May God and his angels be with. May you have precious memories to wash over you in the days that lie ahead. We love you greatly. ❤️🙏❤️
Thank you for your kind words 🙏.
In the late 70's and early 80's three young men went through the English and Reading classes I taught at Newborn HS. They were some of the most polite and full of mischief students I ever taught. I thoroughly enjoyed them. Several of us teachers were treated with passes to eat at Frank's, and we were treated like royalty. Before it was considered abuse to hug your students, I used to hug them a lot and received many hugs from Emanuele, Michael, and Chris, even when I encountered them while out shopping in Covington.
I would like to express my condolences to the whole family in the loss of Mrs. Castellana. I only met her at Frank's, but I know she was welled loved by her family and loved her family very much. I pray God will just wrap His sweet loving arms about you and carry through these times of sorrow and grief.
Sincerely with much love,
Wilma R. Thompson
