Anita and Lisa, Your mom was so beautiful and loving. When we were teenagers she always opened her home to not 1 or 2 of us but the whole sorority. I'll always remember her smile and kindness. May the Lord comfort you during this most sorrowful time. Love, Patricia Dillard (Patsy Wood)

I know there will never be another like her. She was very special to me and loved by all who knew her. Such a loving and giving person. Wilbur and Anita and Lisa..My words will never say how sad I am for our loss. But I am comforted by the fact that she is with God. We will see her on the other side. May God bring His peace to you all these days.
