Dear kathy,W D, and Marshall, Bobby and I are so sorry to hear of your Mothers passing. What a fine Lady she was, and Wonderful neighbor. We never really got to see each other much because of work and family, but your Mother and Father were two of the best people that we knew. And they raised some fine children. W D, I will never forget how you came rushing over to help Bobby with that big tree from falling on our house. And Kathy my husband thinks you are the sweetest person he's ever known. Marshall when my daughter Brandie was born your Mom, Dad and you came to visit , I wish that we could have kept in touch. Always remember that your Mother will always be with you, trust me. My Mother passed away back in 1989 and not one day goes by that I don't think of her and know that she is with me. May God Bless you and your families. With Our Deepest Sympathy, Bobby and Mary Taylor

Kathy, W.D. & Marshall,
I am so sorry to learn that your mother as passed. She was much loved by not only me, but Charlotte and Henry as well. We all held her in highest regard.
I am grateful for the last time I saw her. She came over for a visit. We talked about flowers, especially our Daylily collections. She shared memories of her trip with Kathy to Andrea Viettes Daylily farm, a place I had often thought about visiting. I was excited for her that she had the opportunity to go there.
For me, the visit was much like the the times I shared with my own mother, sitting around the kitchen table. I think of it as a gift I will always cherish.
She was very proud of the accomplishments of all three of you.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
