Lauretta and Billy Warlick send their prayers to you in her honor on her blessed life and happy our families grew up in Asheville together. Interesting to see a person born in N.Dakota walks a long path to end up in Asheville and do the things she did along the way.

We shared many things over the years and the latest ….the death of my husband Earl and then less than two years later the death of Bill. God got us through it and now you are already with Bill. I’m looking forward to seeing you in Heaven. I love you.
