My parents, Norris and Ivene Cozort, and I want to extend our Deepest Sympathy to all of you on the passing of Marveen. My Dad did your Mother’s television work many, many years ago and my Mother knew your Mother via the Bassett’s Flower Shop here in town. My parents thought the world of your Mother and thought she was a very kind caring individual. She will be missed. During this time we will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers. May God comfort, encourage, strengthen, and give each of you peace. May God bless all of you.
In Christian Love,
