Shannon and Sam, Steve and I were so sorry to hear of your mom's death. What a wonderful person she was. We have great memories from Kingswood of her and all your family. I'll never forget when we were invited over for lobster dinner with several other couples from church. The furniture was removed from you family room and we all sat on the floor; however, your mom had put down a linen table cloth, complete with the "good" china and a large silver candlebra.She always had "class." We will certainly keep you and your families in our thoughts and prayers during this holiday season.

Dearest Shannon and Mitt, Let me first say how terribly sorry I am, I had taken care of Jessie Lee and then your mother and in turn I made a wonderful friend that has been there for me through thick and thin and I miss her terribly bad. She had just sent me the a book for my birthday with the most wonderful card that I will cherish always. I want you both to know that Nora talked of the both of you often and she was so very proud of you both and her precious grandchildren. She had just talked of how her and I were going to go to Pensicola this spring and lay on the beach and let them bring everything to us and sip margaritas and just relax but we would have to do it when we were both well, she has helped me so much through my illness I miss her so much and loved her with all my heart.
