I cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. You are all in my prayers. I will miss my chats with Mrs. Noblett when she called the office to speak with her son. God bless you all. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do.
I absolutely adored this gem of a lady. She got me hooked on good purses, good watches, and deals of just about any nature. The pony lady in our haw creek neighborhood will live on in our hearts. She was such a great person….keeping you all in prayer.
