What a dear, sweet person Ms. Motley was. You could always get a blushing smile from her when you'd mention her "Miss Beach" title she held in her younger days. Billy, you were so devoted to your mothers care and she loved you so. When John visited her on Saturday she said "where is Billy". Her kind heart will be missed and remembered by many.

Billy,

So sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. She lived a long and full life and was blessed to have you as such a loving and caring son. I know God will bless you for all you did. Even though I never met your Mother I felt like I knew her through talking to you. May our Lord comfort and strengthen you and your family at this time. My love and prayers are with you.

Sincerely,

Joyce Mende
