  1. Gail and family : I have so many fond memories of being at your house when you, Sandra and I were in high school. I remember going on those great fishing trips with your family and eating your Momā€™s great cooking. My Mother, Mary Lee, passed away July 18, she would have been 97 next January. We certainly will miss our dear Mothers. My condolences to each of you and I will pray for you – now and in the coming days.

  7. Nona was my neighbor from the time I was born until I was 21. I went back to visit occasionally after we moved, but I always kept saying Iā€™d go check on her and then I had heard she moved back to North Carolina. She was the first to know when anything in the neighborhood happened. Her and Bud were like surrogate grandparents – in addition to Paul Shaffer and his wife. Love her dearly and sending lots of love to Gail and the family.
