Dear Mrs. Becky & Family, I am thinking about you all! Rhett contacted me Friday and I was on my knees praying as soon as I had found out. I loved Mrs. Sarah. I remember her taking care of me & Rhett our senior year of high school when my mom was working out of town & you all so graciously took me in. You and Mr. Ron had gone skiing and left us with Sarah & Frank - they will live is our hearts forever. Love to all
