David and Brenda: So Sorry for your loss. I do appreciate this excellent web site as I was able to see a picture of your devoted Mother. My thoughts are with you and often think of the times when I was in and out of your home while growing up and living next door to you and Mae. With sincere sympathy, Ethel (Horsey)Combs Spangler, Merritt Island, Florida.

Dave and Roberta:
Sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a wonderful lady and I thought a lot of her. Several years ago she and Sara spent the day with me as we wallpapered a couple of rooms in my home. I'll never forgot how they laughed and teased each other as they worked. Our prayers are with you both at this time.
