Miss Daisy was one of sweetest ladies I've ever met. I only knew her the last few months of her life but she was a gem. She loved snickers candy bars. I would give her one and she was always so grateful. She would ask "what can I give you?" I replied, your smile. I miss her...but know she had a great life.

Roger, how coincidental that we were all reminiscing about your mother and family members at the school reunion in September. What a long ribbon of memories she left you and your family. Jim and I send warm condolences. It was good to see you
