Billy. Bobby and I are both heartbroken for you and your family. I hope you know how much we loved your Melba and how much we love you. She was such a sweetheart and just the most gentle person ever. I looked so forward to seeing her beautiful smile on Sunday. You always knew she truly cared about you when you saw her beautiful face light up when she saw you. I am so thankful that Glenda and I were privileged enough to visit with her when we delivered the Easter basket. That was a visit we will never forget. We will continue to keep you close in our prayers and thoughts. 💕🙏
