Larry Moorehead They moved out of our community back to their home in Alabama but they are missed here in Lynchburg. Mrs. Annie was always nice and had a smile on her face when I made calls to their farm. Keep in mind she is in a better place now with all her problems taken care of. Mr. Everett you will be in our prayers.
