Hi Nancy;
I don't know if you remember me or not but we went to church with youall and your mom at Ninnacha Bible Baptist Church. Dora Cooley. I had two little boys Darrell & Leslie, well they grew up and are both realtors. Your mom was a really neat lady I just loved her remember when we would tease her and call her Honey? I am sorry to hear of your loss. Take care. My prayers are with your family. Dora Atherton 944-0894
