Becky & Gail,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I know what a struggle Bernice has had. I remember her so fondly and how both our Moms worked to guide a bunch of GA girls such a long time ago. My prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Mr. and Mrs. Kovacic were just great neighbors. Living next door on Andrew Road, Mr. Kovacic was so nice to put up with my son, Clay, playing in his yard. Mrs. Kovaci allowed Clay just to follow her around the yard. Love this family and their two daughters. Brenda Kelley
