    There’s a special place in all of our hearts for our mothers, just like there’s a special place in every mother’s heart for her children. You must continue to carry her memory in that special place in your heart. I am sincerely sorry for the loss of your mother. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that your grief is shared by so many. Your mom who also was my Aunt will be sorely missed. God bless you and our entire family

  10. Saddened upon reading of Mrs. Adkins passing, The Adkins Family was the Payne Family’s next door neighbors when we first moved to Lincoln. I virtually grew up with Patricia “Patsy”, Carlos, and Rita. Fond and cherished memories of her and the Adkins Family.
    My deepest sympathy and fervent prayers are Patricia, Rita, Kenny, Jimmy and all who are mourning the loss of such a beautiful lady.

    But as a believer we know that “. ..Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal”. Overjoyed to know she is reunited with “Big Jim”, Carlos, parents, siblings, relatives, and friend who have gone on before her.
