Phyllis and Bryant,
I worked with Alta at J.Freezer and Sons in the early 1970's. She was a real joy!!!! Also, later in life, I ran into her at my Aunt Jenny's house. She was one of my aunt's best friends. Alta remembered me from the old days and we had a marvelous visit. She was a very special person and I know she will be greatly missed. God bless and keep you all during this difficult time.

To the Family of Mrs. Mills
I remember when Mrs. Mills would pick up her riders to go to work in Radford. I think it was Kenrose and maybe J Freezer & Sons. My mother Guyda Roop was one of her riders. I am so sorry for your loss. She was a very nice lady. God blessings to the family
