Mr. Cade, so sorry to read of the passing of your mother. She was a great lady who raised and loved three great sons. One of which I'm pleased to call a friend. Though she has pass on ; the many great memories her family made during her life time will never end. She's now in Heaven walking beside her husband, and those that have gone on before her.

My sincere condolences to the family. When I met Mrs. Cade in 2000, we created a bond because we discovered that we had both attended the same University in Columbus, Mississippi. She was always such a kind and thoughtful lady!
