Mary Alice and Rockie, in looking at the Cabell Standard for my father's legal notice for his passing, I noticed your father's obituary. I knew Suellyn had had a long struggle with cancer but was unaware of her death. That's a lot of loss. With the passing of your father, B'ville has lost another of those who made it a great place to grow up. Our parents legacy to B'ville is one I hope our generation carries on.
