Thoughts and prayers from the Lassiter Family. Mrs. Gregg was my grandmothers ( Catherine Masters) best friend and neighbor for many years. I'll always remember her gardening, then walking across the street to visit and relax in the shade drinking sweet tea. Always such a sweet loving lady. She will be remembered forever by our entire family and greatly missed !
