Edwin,
I was so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. My thoughts an prayers are with you all. I only met your mother a few times, but she made a lasting impression on me. December 2005 I was fortunate to have been invited by you into your mother's home for a Christmas celebration. For someone like myself who doesn't have much family, your mother made me feel like part of yours. Thanks for that.

To Edwin and Johnny and family. I knew Mrs. Sour for over 40 years and she was one of the nicest ladies I ever met. A true Southern Lady in every sense with grace and charm. She will be sadly missed by us all. Godspeed to you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. A great poet once said " One must wait till the evening, to see how splendid the day has been." For Mrs. Sour it must have been a splendid day indeed.

The world lost a most wonderful soul in Ms Maggie. Ms. Maggie touched so many lives in so many ways, some of them in the most quiet, unassuming of ways. Ms Maggie will certainly be missed, however, her spirit lives in all of her children and their extended families. I am so happy to have known Ms. Maggie and wish you all comfort in the memories she has made for us all Lots of love and peace.
