Andy Lou: Am saddened for your loss. I remember your mom as though it were yesterday as we were probably only 9 or 10 years when we were buds and spent the night at your home or your grandmom's home. Those are sweet memories for me. I do pray for you and your family;

Diane and Andy,
Your mom was so very special. I will never forget all the fun times we had at your house. Swimming, playing cards, and just chatting about life are my favorite memories. I will be out of town Thursday, but I will be there in spirit. My thoughts are with you, and I love you both.

So sorry to hear of your mother's death. She was very special to me and my family. We all had many fun times together at your house playing solitaire and collating law books! I am sorry that we are leaving town today and will not be in town for the funeral.
Love,

Andy, your mom always made your home such a delightful place to visit. I still remember her hospitality and graciousness from the many nights I had the priviledge of having a sleep over. Even as a teenager I recognized what a wonderful woman she was. Blessings, Shelly Laws Davis
