Not sure what to say?

Two of the most wonderful people, Billy and Nell Rose are together and happy once again. Two wonderful people that were so nice to me and my family as we grew up. Deepest sympathy to Kay and all the family.

I am sorry to hear Nell Rose passed away. She used to baby sit me when I was a child. Very sweet lady. Now she and billy can be together forever. Such love between no better people in THIS world. By the way I am Florence Gauldin's grand daughter.

Kay and Dick,
I am sorry to hear of Mrs. Mays passing. I enjoyed her vibrant spirit and conversation. My late wife Carolyn was always very fond of her.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.

When I was a child, I visited my grandparents (Mr. & Mrs. Howell Pace) who lived near the Mays' station/store. All of us grandchildren knew the names "Billy and Nell Rose Mays" because that's where we went to get a treat. Such fond memories of very nice people! Please accept my sincere sympathy.

It is with much sadness that I read of Nell Rose's death and on behalf of my mother, Mattie Wilson (and the late Bud Wilson), and myself, we all certainly want to extend our deepest sympathy to Kay and the family. An abundance of great memories fill my heart as I think of the many years of friendship. Thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this time.
