Dear Skinner Family ,
So saddened to hear of Mrs. Bert’s passing and the subsequent passing of her precious sister. Praying for all of you during the difficult days ahead. I’m certain a flood of memories are on your hearts as you remember her legacy and the lives she touched through the years. I can still remember her working at SuperX Drugstore next to ZAYRE on Stewart Avenue. I thought it was cool to see her in her work setting. She loved her job and those with whom she interacted as customers and as fellow coworkers. Fond memories of her many years.
God hears our hearts when words fail. Take care.
Love you guys.
