I so enjoyed getting to know your mom while playing tennis at Snee Farm. She was a lady through and through.

I served with Theodosia for several years on the board of the East Cooper Republican Women's Club and told her that of all the ladies there, she was my favorite - my "Scarecrow." She was warm, friendly, funny, principled, courageous and not afraid to stand up for what she believed was right. She was a lovely lady whom I feel privileged to have known. God Bless you, Theodosia. The world is just a little dimmer place after having lost you.
