Dear Poore Family,
I am so sorry to hear about the death of Mrs. Poore. I will always treasure the times I spent at your farm in Lexington as well as in Jetersville. I still wear a name pin that she and Mom picked out at the State Fair. It is hard to believe that our parents are no long with us. May God give you peace at this time of sorrow. With great fondness, Gail

We were sorry to hear about your mother. We know she is in a better place. We know she will be greatly missed by all the people whose lives she touched.

David and family,
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I know your heart aches but hopefully the memories will soon take the hurt away. "Granny'' was always good to me when I was young. Now as I write this all I can remember are the times on the farm in Powhatan.
I know she is having a wonderful reunion in heaven laughing and talking.

My prayers are with you as you go through this sorrow.
