Robert and I go back a long way with Andrew and Nelda. They were married in our home and we spent many, many wonderful times with them on trips and visits to the Perry Hotel in Perry, GA. We were very saddened to hear she had been so ill and we send our deepest sympathy to all her family. Sylvia Adkins, Jacksonville, FL.

Dear Stephen,Billy and Randy,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I worked for her at The Flower Shoppe in the last year,(I think), that she was in business. What a great lady she was! I have fond memories of our chats and the things she taught me. She trusted me to keep things going when she needed some time off for something. She was tiny & petite,but she could hold her own. And she had the sweetest smile. I know you'll miss her, but she'll still be with you in your heart everyday. I was so fortunate to have know her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
