James and Frank,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. Mary called my house about 3 1/2 years ago and asked to speak to my mom, Ruby Anderson. Unfortunately, my mom passed away in 2006 but had spoken of your mom often. They had been neighbors and friends back in Oak Grove. Mary and I talked for a long while that night and she has been calling me every month ever since. I thought I would surprise her this Christmas Eve and stop by the retirement home and finally get to meet her. I am sorry to say that I was the one with the surprise. Even though we didn't get to lay eyes on each other, I loved Miss Mary very much. I will sorely miss her monthly phone calls and catching up with her. I can only hope that she, my mom and Mable Wyatt are having a good old time up in heaven catching up on things. Cookie Anderson.

James and Frank,
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your mother. She touched the hearts of many people during her life. I have very fond memories of phone conversations she and I had a number of years ago. She was always the go to lady if you wanted an update on old friends. You two were the light of her life. God Bless.
