Tommy, Charles and The Ball Family, I was so sorry to hear of your Mother’s Passing. Years and Years ago, when Tommy and Charles were teenagers, I was at your home in Madison County. Your Mother was so kind and such a lovely and gracious hostess. I am sure that she will be missed by all of her friends. May God bless you and your families. Leigh Ann Rhash
Don’s Mother was a neighbor of Bernice at Emerald Ridge. We use to sit and talk to her as well as the other ladies in the dining room. She had given me a cutting from an afghan violet and it is blooming. She was a lovely lady. Our deepest sympathy to her family.
