Tony and the Ledbetter Family,
Years ago I took an oil painting class from Jeanne. I enjoyed the class so very much & my daughter has the painting. I will always remember Jeanne and the enjoyment that she brought to me. I want to send the Ledbetter family my sincerest sympathy.

Dan, Beth and family, We are sorry to hear about the recent loss of your mother. She must have been an amazing woman to raise such a good young man like you. Our prayers are with you in your time of need. Penny, Courtney and Wren PS: I am sure she was very proud of the tough decision that Tyler and BJ recently made (as are we).
