In Loving Memory
My prayer goes out to the Littlewood family, I would like to express my condolence at this time to your family. The Bible is a great source of encouragement at times like this, a comforting thought is at Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away"

I'm so sad to hear of Geri having passed. Geri & I worked together for the Postal Service. We saw many changes, weathered the hard times, celebrated the good ones and through it all, Geri was a rock. I look back in fondness of her friendship & support. The last time I spoke with her she said "Don, you were absolutely the best Employment Officer we ever had" Nice words from a grand lady! She is missed!
