I was so sorry to read Alzetta's obituary in the Sun today and regret that I'm 2000 miles away and couldn't make it to the visitation tonight. I thought the world of her and her family since getting to know her 27 years ago. I have no doubt that heaven has another angel now.
We are all so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Bounds was a sweet lady and will be missed we know. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
Robin and Leeann Castleberry & Family
