So sorry to hear this she was a sweet lady. She will be missed not only by her family but by all that knew her. Kenny and Linda Reed.
So sorry to hear about your mom, she was a great lady, I remember her from when Forester and Wayne worked together at Alliance Carolina. Just know I’m thinking about all of you.
