Lynette and Tyree, I am Praying for you both to find Peace and Comfort during this difficult time. Mrs Saylor was an amazing Person, Mother and wife! Man was she an awesome Baker. I will always cherish the memories of her chocolate covered cherries she made me for so many Christmases. Up until my doctor said I had to cut out chocolate due to my Migraines! I think she was more disappointed than I was. But my best memories will be of Her and my Mom dancing with us to our favorite songs while Scott played with the Homegrown Vigilante Band and your Dad was cheering us on!!
I Love You Girl and I am always here for you and Tyree
