Genie, just wanted you to know that I remember your father from so many years ago as a very kind person. I know you will miss him, but hope that knowing old friends are thinking about you will help as you grieve.

Sorry to hear about Mr. Summerall. My thoughts are with all of you. Our Mother, Hazel, passed away last Nov. 30th. while at Kentwood. Age 91. The old house on Bransford Rd. is still in the family.

Genie, Sorry to hear of your Father's death. I received the Augusta Herald at your Dad's service station in 1960-61 when I was a paperboy. He was always so kind to me; to the point of helping changing my flat tires on my bicycle. I will always remember his kindness. You and your family are in my prayers.
