Lisa and Wayne -
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She was a dear friend to my family and a pleasant part of my formative years in Oakwood Forest and at Covington Baptist Church. I cherish those memories. There is another great Baptist in Heaven, now.

Lisa,
I was so saddened to read that you had lost your Mom. She was such a delightful person to know and I enjoyed the time I spent with her in Oakwood Forest and as a niece by marriage. Please know that I am thinking of you, Wayne and the children during this difficult time.
