My brother, Dave, and I were so saddened to hear of Mrs. Yeager's passing. Mrs. Yeager was a wonderful friend and neighbor to our mom for many years, and we enjoyed seeing her at the greenhouse when we were visiting Glade Creek. She always greeted us with that great smile she always had. We will never forget her and her husband's wonderful friendship to our mom especially, but also to our entire family.

Dinah, I am so saddened to see this. Your mom was such a nice lady and so good with her greenhouse. I know she will be greatly missed.

Dinah, your Mother was kind, caring, generous and compassionate. She was also a strong and virtuous woman who loved her God and her family. I love you all very much and my prayers are with you daily. I want to leave this verse for you: Numbers 6: 24-26
The Lord bless you and keep you; make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace. Love & Prayers, Carolyn Woodruff
