Jeannie and Debbie, Legacy has sent me an email reminding me of your mother's passing this month. Hard to believe it's been nine years. We still have several pictures of your mom as I remember her in the sixties. A beautiful woman. We'd like to send them to you. You can contact me at [email protected]. Blessings to you.

Jeanie and Debbie, This is Susan Bedell Stanley. I'm so sorry to hear about you mom. I know the sadness. Last month my mother told me you had left a message on our father's guest book. Thank you so much for trying to contact us. I left a message on her facebook page (using my son, Timothy's account) but haven't heard from you. We are looking for a phone number in Jax and will try that. I am in Keystone Heights about an hour and a half away from Jeanie. My email is [email protected] Blessings to your family.
