    Sister Terry Manns (Deacon Tony Manns) and the family of Rebecca Gammage,

    A grandmother is a guide and a senior mentor in one’s life. As such, the loss of your grandmother means the loss of a guide in your family and someone whom others look up to. 107 years; “WOW”. At this difficult time of life, our prayers and thoughts are with you. Please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family.
