Hilary and Harry, I was saddened to hear of your mom's passing. She was a grand lady with a kind word and a grateful heart. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Peggy and I both are saddened to read of Jocelyn's death, for she and Harry were good friends from more than 30 years ago. Although we've been gone from Athens for 29 years we'd meet up from time to time and recall other times. We wish for all her children God's peace and blessings. I hope all you girls are still playing string instruments as you did -- you were good! Best wishes! John Roark

I was deeply saddened to hear of your Mama's passing. I hope you know that I thought she was a wonderful person and brought so much joy to many people's lives. She will be sorely missed by our community. I am so grateful for her life and to have known her . . . and especially that she brought the three of you into this world! My prayers are with you all during this time of grief. I send my best to each of you.
