To the Alford Family,
I did not realize Mrs Alford had passed away until I attended the Christmas Memorial service and saw it in the bulletin.
Mom and Dad ( Melba and Travis, Sr) had many fun stories and memories that they shared with Mr & Mrs Alford. 2021 claimed some good women!
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
