To Tammy: So sorry about the death of your grandmother. I really thought a lot of her. She was a sweet person and was always so kind everytime I spoke with her. She is the one who made my prom dress for the junior-senior prom when I was in high school, and I also had her make other nice clothes for me at special occasions. She was a very special lady and will be missed by many who knew her. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. As always, Lori (Sanders) Houghton, your former classmate
