Dear Mary & Colin,

It was with great sadness we learned of Weegie's passing. We fondly recall her many acts of kindness and sharing with us as her across the street neighbors at Westlake in the 70's. We recently viewed a DVD version of the movie Greg filmed for UGA starring Colin and reminisced over those days.Those memories will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Dear Carolyn:

Sorry, to hear about you Mother.

As you know,Weegie and I had a "special" bond. Especially when it came to cooking and telling jokes. We never got a chance to write our cookbook.

I know you will miss her. Keep in touch.

Love

Carl

Hello All,



We were very saddened to hear of Weegie's passing. We'll always have fond memories of her. I can hear her & Effie now laughing and talking nonstop. We really miss Effie. It's like our last link to the Huff family is slowly dwindling away. They really made us great friends & neighbors.
