Not sure what to say?

Susan, Nanette, and Bill,
I will always remember our times at the apartments: remember "Chicken Pox Leaf"? Susan walked me to school on my very first day at 10th Street. Mama and Daddy had a very special place for Susan in their hearts when she was a very little girl. It soon expanded to Nanette and Bill. Was it Bama that took care of you for so many years?

Every time I saw Martin after I had grown up, he referred to me as "Wucy", of "Linnie and Wucy". He always made me...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Dear cousin Martin,
How I am going to miss you! Alabama won't be the same without you. I sure regret not living closer so I could have known you better. I really enjoyed our visits, the conversations over lunch about our family history and your tour of the family cemetery. It really meant so much to me. But, most of all, I will remember your driving! Disneyland doesn't have any ride in comparison. Rest comfortably and know you will always have a special place in my heart.

I loved working for Mr. Wakefield for 6 years as a buyer and enjoyed his frienship for many years after. My father and I were regulars at his poker table and I will always cherish the memories of Mr. Wakefield, Rabbit Jordan and my dad playing poker together. God bless all of them, I loved them and miss them.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. You will be missed Mr. Wakefield.

Dear Bill & Family,
Our prayers are with you during your time of loss and sadness. Your father was a professional business-man who never met a stranger. He never failed to ask how I was doing each time we passed throughout the years. I have wonderful memories of him. He will truly be missed by the people of Anniston, AL. May God give you and your family peace.
