Cathy and Family,
I am saddened to hear about the passing of your dear precious mother. I’m so glad I called her and talked to her on her birthday. I loved her and your sweet dad. I have many memories of sitting with them in church. I remember how Richard and Delbert were such good friends and would ride together for Deacons’ meetings. Now all three of them are gone. Hugs and prayers during this time of loss.
Love,
Frances Creekmore

Cathy and Richard, I was sooo sorry to read of your mother's passing. Mama June and your dad were some of the very best part of living on 16th Street! And then when we were all in band together and they helped with concession stands and trips and the like. Such a wonderful lady! Hugs to you all...and all your families. Love you!!
