We had a wonderful Aunt, one who never really grew old; her smile was made of sunshine and her heart was solid gold.

I just learned of Mary Beth's passing today (5/18/19). I am so sorry. She was such an enjoyable person; and, even though I didn't see her very much lately, it was always a pleasure when I did. I'll miss her. Pls. accept my deepest condolences.

Shelba, I’m so sorry dear. Your mother was always the prettiest lady in the whole neighborhood. She was also the kindest to all of us. God bless you with His peace. I love you!
