“I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Thorntons passing. Even though it’s been many years since we all last connected, the news brought back a memories of when Bianca and I had a ride along on his bus route. Please know you’re in my thoughts during this difficult time. May the love and stories you shared with your dad bring you comfort, and may his memory be a blessing. With sympathy, Charisse”
