Our sympathies to all the family in the loss of your loved one. Prayers and careing thoughts also go to Teresa and Aubrey Laffoon. My special memories go back to Teresa's great grandmother Ina Wilson my neighbor, Betty's grandmother and Mirls mother. I was a little girl at the time I knew Mrs Wilson, and Mirl. I went to school with Billy Charles. Ina and her family were a good example to me as a child. I will always remember the happy times spent at her house when Mirl would bring her kids over to visit . May you all have comfort at this time. Marinda and Rick Holliman
