Not sure what to say?





I'm a little late in learning of this news. And I have to say I'm just crushed. Becky Carroll was my favorite. She was my teacher for 3rd grade at Florence Elementary. I can hear her infectious laugh (giggle snort). I'll miss those Christmas Cards.

Prayers & Love to Wade, Cory, & Cody
