Ardyce was such a loving and kind person. She volunteered in my preschool classroom at Hawthorne Literacy Center and was such a treat to have with us each week. The children loved her as did I. My deapest sympathy goes out to her family. She will be dearly missed.-Tammy Childs c/o Rochester Public Schools
My prayers are with you! Ardyce was a part of my church family. A few years back I had the pleasure of visiting her in her apartment for a short Bible study. What a lovely, classy lady with a strong faith and lots of energy! I'm a nurse at Golden Living on the overnight shift. She did recognize me right away . It was a blessing to share our faith during the few minutes spent caring for her each night. What a wonderful lady and example for me. Surely she is with the Lord.
