Kay and Glen, our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Letting you know that Calahan remembered visiting and recognized your mom when he saw the picture of them together. He remembered the toys in the basement and living room. I'm so glad we were able to give him that memory. Peace to you both, Georgia, Joe, Mara, Pete and Calahan

Ruth was my neighbor but I have know here since I was a little girl when we all went to the Baptist Church. She was one sweet and funny lady. One day I went to see her on the day I go get my hair done. She told me my hair looked better than the last time she saw me. I use to take her fresh tomatoes and angel food cake. Also Patsy and Hugh were high school classmates.
