May my sympathies for the Risner family be felt by all. My Mom and Dad were Charlie and Martha Fox. Somehow, I feel that there are a lot of Risners and Foxs being Serenaded by Angels right about now

Virginia, Beth and family,

I have a few memories of Aunt Marie and Uncle Olvin when they lived in Kentucky across from Granddad..I remember always wanting to visit with your parents each time we vacationed in Kentucky.
Aunt Marie was always so kind to my Mom and Dad and all 6 kids, that had to be alot on her, however she did it with a smile and love in her heart.
That is how I will always remember her, a smile and lots of love.
Aunt Marie is now an Angel watching over you all just as she did as your Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother...I hope that will bring some confort to you all.

Love and Prayers,
Brenda Fox-Layne
