My condolence to the family of Doris Patterson Blevins . May our heavenly father give you the strength needed during this time of grief. "For he is near to those broken at heart." Ps 35:17,18.

Donna and Rick- This has been such a shock to all of us and our prayers are constantly with you. We have many fond memories of "Grandma Fluff" making us laugh and smile in the Basketcase (what happened at the Basketcase STAYED at the Basketcase!) and most recently she brought that humor to our email boxes when she learned how to email. I will treasure them all and miss her greatly! Prayers and hugs to you, Don, Rick and the boys. Di, Tyler, Madison, Garrison
