John and Brian, Your mom and dad were the best next-door neighbors ever on Thornly Road. Your mom was always so nice to our family and we have wonderful memories of Nettie. There has never been a nicer lady. Our sympathy and love.

John & Brian -- I remember your parents from Wild Rose. They were friends with my parents and I used to babysit for you when you were just babies. My parents loved your mom's name and the funny stories she would tell in that southern accent. She was a lovely woman. My condolences to you and your family.
