Dear Kitty and family,
I also share with you in the loss of your loved one. Bill and I go back to grammer school & high school when we became friends. As the years went by and I left Greenwood in 1950, we were reconnected when I went to work with BB&T in 1980. We met on occassional meetings with the bank and it was like boys once again. Try to remember the good times and good memories. May God bless you and help you during your time of grief.Your old time friend...
