Beautiful woman with a beautiful soul . Teresa we are saddened with the passing of your mother and hope the love carries on in your family with the thought of her at peace .
I didn’t know Almira very well but when she had that clothing store, she was so kind to me. She offered clothes to me without paying up front and said if I didn’t like them I can send them back. She trusted me 100%. That is the type of person she was. She was kind and thoughtful and seemed to care about people. Rest in peace.
Rest well in Honour, Love & Peace Dear Almira. My Sincerest sympathy and condolences to your Dear Daugther Teresa and all your Loved Ones. May the Comfort & Peace of Christ be with all Almira’s Loved ones now and continuously 🙏🏽💜✝️💐
