See Condolences

I am so sorry for your loss, Jennifer and your family. I will continue to pray for you to have peace and comfort during this difficult time. Love you!

Loretta and I met up when our sophomore year at Ball High was about to begin. It was as we were walking into Latin teacher, Mrs. White's classroom. Loretta spied Mrs. White. She said to me, "This is not going to go good. You and I need to find seats in the back as quickly as we can in. That'll help us go unnoticed." So I said, "Why?" And she reminded me, "Because neither of us is ever going to care whether or not 'Gallia insula est,' She does. We went directly to the back.

Such a lovely lady. My condolences go out to the family.

Our thoughts remain with you and your family at this time. We are honored by the trust and confidence you have placed in us during this difficult time. – The Staff of Malloy Funerals & Cremations
