Dear Ginger and Roddy. I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. Your mother was such a kind person and I have only fond and loving memories of her, and your family. I'm so grateful for those years we lived next door to you, and wish everyone could have neighbors like we did in your family. May God comfort you and your family in your loss.

Dear Ginger and Family,
Eddie and I were saddened to hear of the death of your precious Mother and Nanny. She is taking her rest in the arms of Jesus.
She was an excellent Mother, wife, Nanny, and friend.
We remember her with fondness.

To the Garey family. Ms. Mildred was a very very special lady. I enjoyed all my conversations with her. She was a character as well. I always asked about her when I did not see her. Garey and Ladd I know she will be deeply missed, but remember she will always be with you in spirit and in your hearts. I know I will miss the sweetness of a lady she was. Teresa West from SunTrust Bank now with Hope Federal Credit Union in West Memphis. My prayers are with you all during this time.
