Speaking of back in the day, I have been friends with Bea for 35 years back in our days in Tallahassee. I've also had alot of fun times with Joy and George over the years. Their sweet Mother raised some mighty fine kids. Betty Hazel was a wondeful woman and always a pleasure to be around. I might be 1000 miles away but my heart is with ya'll during this sad time.
Love to all, Vic

To the family,
My most heartfelt condolences, I knew Joy quite well back in the day, and she did for me when I lost my Dad, and I'll do for her now.
I met Ms. Sherouse several times, and found her a wonderful Lady, full of spirit. I know now that her Spirit will live on in those that once new her.
