Ramona loved flowers and nurtured her garden with the same care, love, and skill as she did her family relationships and close friendships. Floral arrangements are welcome, (Recommended Florist) but the family also encourages you to consider giving live plants or monetary donations toward a Garden of Memories the family and church are planting on the grounds of Old Brick. This garden is a gift to the Women of the Church with whom she shared faithful service and deep friendship for so many years. It is dedicated to the glory of God in honor of Ramona’s life. Donations can be sent to the church or made at any branch of Bank Independent.
Ramona was preceded in death by her brother Steve Farris, and her husband, William Bert Whitlock. Steve’s laughter still echoes in the hearts of his family. Ramona loved Bill with an uncommon fervor for more than 51 years . . . and missed him every day until their reunion.http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif
