    I am sorry for your loss. May you find peace and comfort during this time. I remember when your mom worked at KCHD a long time ago. She was a real nice woman. She will be missed

    I want to share my condolences with Marquetta and Roberta and the whole family, for the loss of Alvina. I have nothing but positive memories of her and all the great help she gave with caring for patients at the Health Department Primary Care Clinic over the years we worked there together. So sorry for your loss.
