Anne, Mama just called to tell me about your precious mother. What wonderful memories I have of your mom and dad, of Ashley Hall, Kanuga, Black Mountain,our weddings, and Mobile visits. Remember our chickens in the heart of Charleston? Your mom gave me my first piece of apple pie for breakfast. She was such an energetic,lovely lady. God bless you all. Much love to you and your family.

I love you my beautiful friend!
