The Gossett family formally of the Hilltop sends their deepest condolences to the Talley family. My Mother and Ms. Talley attended the same school in Asheville, North Carolina at different times ( Allen Home High School). I thank God for Ms. Talley's intervention in my life while growing up in Columbus. She had a heart of gold and never a negative comment about anyone. We pray God grant Ms. Talley eternal life in heaven keeping her close. May the "Peace of Christ" be with each and every family member during these trying times and forever after.
Respectfully,
