Dixie, Donna and Jay - Your Mother was a very special lady and a good friend of my mother, Catherine Alderson. She would drive over and pick up my mother and Leslie to attend Sunday School at Immuanuel so that my Dad could join them later for Church. She always had a smile for everyone. She will be missed.
