We are so sorry for the loss of Portia. Although we did not know her very well, we enjoyed conversations with her during family events. We are sending our love and prayers to you and your family. Love Lisa and Vince.
Portia and Jewel were the best babysitters I ever had growing up! I loved them, their parents and their brother Tommy like family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love and Sympathy, Ginger Wall Arth
I will miss you forever, my sweet friend. I’ll miss the sassiness, the way your kids made you laugh, how much love you had for them all.
I’ll never forget how you laughed when Jerry and Mike had a contest…and you lost! The memories of you looking out for everyone around you will remain an example the rest of my life; posting job openings, church socials, farmer and flea markets.
You lived a good life, Portia. Thank you for being my friend.
So sorry to hear of Portia passing. I remember from many years ago and the wonderful person she was. May she rest in peace. God Bless
Louie my condolences to you too. You and my brother Keith were always together growing up. With sympathy, Ginger
