Mrs. Garner was such a special person and we will miss her so much. Walter and I were really lucky to have had her as a neighbor and a friend. She loved her family so much and I can’t remember any time that I talked to her that she didn’t express her love for them in some way.
Dear Stan, Diane and Lindsay,
We are so sorry to hear about the untimely passing of your Mother and Grandmother.
Diane was telling me about your happy Thanksgiving and how well Mrs. Garner seemed. She even liked South Carolina football. How wonderful that she was happy to the very end!
We are sure she is at peace now and with all of the loved ones that went before her.
You are in our thougths and prayers.
With much love and sympathy,
Dave, Cindy, Cally and Shelley Allen
Stan, Our thoughts & prayers are with you,Diane,Lindsey & Vickie. We’re so so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was always so sweet to me when I would see her, and I know you’ll miss her terribly! What do you think she and your Dad are doing right now?! Hopefully she’s in her Clemson warmups. Take care & we’ll see you soon. Love, Danny & Susan
We want all of you to know that our thoughts are with you during this time of sorrow. Our prayer is that God will send peace and comfort to your hearts and strengthen your faith as you lean upon Him. God Bless you,

Dear Vicki and Stan – I am so sorry for your loss. I remember growing up next door to you ,and your Mom always made ‘homemade’cookies and had us @ Lake Greenwood. She was a great lady and good friend to my Mom. I bet they are ‘neighbors’ again. My thoughts and prayers are with you – Laura Durham Chapman
Vicki, we just learned this morning about your mother’s passing and we are so very sorry. We’ll certainly miss her warm smile and friendly words at Mt. Zion. We always enjoyed visiting with the two of you just before church on Sunday mornings. Know that you and all your family are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
God bless.
