Tammy & family,
I was so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. She was such a great lady who "adopted" all of the neighborhood kids. I have so many fond memories of spending time at your house. Everyone growing up on Hartford Street knew that your mom was always welcoming us to visit. I remember watching her "stories" while waiting for you. She always had a smile and laugh to share. Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Treasure the memories of your dear Mother.
Love,
Mary (Crews) Nunnally

I'm so sorry to hear of Belle's passing we have lost a great woman. I think of my great memories as a child of going over to her house with mom, dad, grandaddy and granny. Her house always felt like home. I remember when Todd, Michelle, Tara and me used to love to roll down her hill on the side of the house and then we couldn't wait to eat her chocolate cake Mmmm good. To this day that has alway's been my favorite, and the train in the back I used to love to hear it. Time just seems to go to fast. Belle has a great family and I am glad to be a part of it. May God bless all of you and comfort you in this hard time. Love you all.
