Sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a great lady. She was an inspiration to all. We will be out of town this weekend. We wanted to let you are in our prayers. Pete and Cheryl Frye
To the family of Malva, you are in my thoughts and prayers at Malva’s passing. What a great Christian lady, she was awesome. I met her as a teenager many years ago at River Avenue Baptist Church and considered her a good friend over the years when I was at River Avenue. She was such a loving and kind person. The photo tribute to her was great, what wonderful memories. Love and prayers, Darleen Smotherman

Malva was a wonderful Christian lady, always helpful, always very kind to everyone. Jack was friends with Freddy and has lots of tales he could share. She will be missed by all who knew her. Our prayers are with all her family and friends. God Bless all of you. In Christian Love & Friendship, Jack and Joan Brickler
Mrs. Foster was my good neighbor and friend. She lived across the street from me for several years and she was someone on whom I could depend. She loved the Lord and showed it by the way she lived. I missed her when she moved away but now she will be in her heavenly home to stay. My condolences go out to the family, Pauline Durham Swift
