I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Dockery's passing. My Dad, Bob Courtney, thought very highly of your Mother after working with her at the A&P. I so enjoyed talking to her at the reunions. Praying for you and the family at this difficult time.

Joyce, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I was getting to know her as my Aunt. She was a beautiful wonderful woman. My mother was her oldest sister. I know that you and your family will miss her deeply.
