With our deepest sympathy and prayers in the loss of your mother! Praying for you all now and the days to follow. ❤️🙏
I saw Johnsie eating at Pete’s not all that long ago. I was so glad to see her & chat just a few minutes. I’m sorry now I didn’t stay longer but didn’t want to interrupt her eating. There just aren’t many left now that I remember from growing up; and now another gone. But just think how our old neighborhood is getting rebuilt person-by-person in Heaven. And boy did they get an important piece this time! And when our turn comes it really will be just going home. You’ll all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Becky, David, Cheryl, and Mark I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was a good woman and strong as well. I am sure she will be missed. I know she is celebrating with her husband Gene, Bobbie, her mom and dad, as well as her brothers Grier and Clayton. You are in our thoughts and prayers in the coming days.
