We are so sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. She was such a gracious lady and an avid Vandy fan. We enjoyed sharing many basketball games with her over the years. God's peace be with your family at this sad time. Love and prayers.

Robert and Kenny,
We just heard about your Mom and are so sorry for your loss. We had seen her a few years ago at the Centennial Park big band dances, and had talked with her for a few minutes. You and your family are in our prayers.
