Rodney , I could write a book on our combined families. Brittonville was a little slice of heaven for all who grew up out there in the 50’s , 60’s , 70’s , and 80’s . Betty Lois , like Sarah , and Mrs Ruth , and the rest of the family , were such a big part of my life growing up . It was so hard when my brother Lynn lost Betty Lois , but I know that the Laurent family along with my family stepped in to raise her four children as best as we could .
Sarah was such a sweet and loving woman , and I want you to always remember , that no matter where I ran into her she was always smiling and bragging on her baby boy .
Rodney you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Your momma was one special lady.
We love you, Rob and Brandi
Rodney I am so sorry for your loss I know how close you were. She was on of a kind lady and loved everyone. I thought the world of her. Marty
Thank you so very much for your kind words.
