Edward and Laura Ann it's really hard when you lose your mother. I know since we lost Mother thirteen years ago you never get over missing them it just gets easier as the years go by. I remember the days when we lived across the street from you'll.It's a shame that we haven't seen you'll all these years after we moved away and after I got married and move to california we just lost contact with each other. Troy and I celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2005 and we looked for you to invite because you was in our wedding. Since we didn't know your married name we couldn't find you. Troy and I came to the funeral home tonight if you was ther Laura I didn't see you but of course we all have changed and gotten a little older. I didn't mean to write a book but just wanted you to know that we know what you'll are going through and our prayers are with you tonight and tomorrow.

Betsy was a wonderful neighbor to our mother for many years. The gardens in Heaven just got a little greener. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Messer familiy. From the children of Connie Yancey.
