Mrs. Seymour,

God is your strength and fefuge; your very help in trouble.......Psalm 46:1. I was very saddened to hear of your loss. Seymour was a kind and good man. I will miss that loving smile and our hour of time spent with him as he made his rounds when he came to Rocky Mount. I very much enjoyed his company as he stopped at Mitchells grocery and got him a hot dog.He has left a beautiful memory and will be saddly missed. Just know during this difficult time; warm thoughts of others and the love of God will bring you strength and hope for the days ahead.

Our Prayers are with you,

Steve and Bonnie Wade & Family
