Bobby and Lane,
I am so sad that you have lost your mother. She was always such a sincere, loving and personable lady. I will always think of her when I drive past ya'll's house on Stratford Rd. no matter who lives there-the same for passing the library.
Gregg and I left town on the day I found out that she had died, otherwise, I would have been at the funeral to tell you this in person. Please accept my sincere sympathy.
Love,
Lile (McLaughlin) Blythe

Dear Lane and Bobby,
I was so sorry to hear about your mother. She was always so good to me when I visited my parents (Billy and Elizabeth Boswell)in Decatur. We emailed back and forth many times and I was so impressed with her spunk! My thoughts are with you both.
Affectionately,
Betty Boswell Athey

Lane and Bobby,
Your mother was the librarian when I was in high school, and I was fortunate to be able to renew my friendship with her at Riverside where she was the tablemate of my dad. When I came to town she and I had such fun going out to lunch and catching up on the news, and in- between we e-mailed. She was a delight. She spoke so proudly of you and your families. My deepest condolences.

Dear Lane & Bobby,
My sympathy and prayers go out to you on the loss of your mother.
Circa 1969-70, I was library assistant on the Wheeler Basin Regional Library bookmobile. Your mother's office was at the children's branch, as was the base for the bookmobile.
All my life, she has held a place on my personal list of Most Admired Women for her character, ability, and dedication to her chosen field. You have been so blessed to have such a mother!

Bobby&Lane,
I am sorry for your loss. Your mother was a sweet and dear lady. I had the pleasure of taking care of her at Riverside 2yrs ago and loved her dearly. She will be truly missed and will always be in my heart. God bless you and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you through your time of loss.

Bobby and Lane: I had great respect for your mother. She was a good friend and coworker. We can be confident that she is now in a better place.

When I saw this precious lady I had to write down my times in school to see exactly when I remembered her---she took care of me when I was in the 8th grade and when she helped me to find the "Little House of the Prairie" books..I still remember how much that was exciting to me at that time because I loved reading books like those, and then she was at the Library in the city for the rest of the time I was in Decatur. She was a very precious lady. I know that Jesus will enjoy having her there...
