Dear Jay & Furman,
I am so sorry to see that your sweet mother passed away. She was a beautiful person both inside and out. I remember her fondly for her sweet nature but also for her incredible strength of character. She was an amazing woman evidenced by the 2 boys she raised into such fine young men with her same strength and kind character. Please know that you both are in my thoughts and prayers.
With love,
Barbara Lyles-Anderson
