Andy,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your precious mother. She was a best friend to my mom and I have so many memories of her and your sweet dad. May Your memories bring you comfort. God Bless you my friend.

Andy,
Your mom and dad were always held in the very highest respect by me. Your dad and I were longtime friends and coworkers at Charleston Rubber Co, and your mom drove the little school bus that carried my daughter Doris Ann to kindergarten at the church. I think Doris Ann was the first pick-up on the route each morning, and your mom designated her to be the 'Door Opener" as they picked up other children. Two wonderful loving people that will be missed by many. My condolencies to you and your family. Keitt

For my best friend and 'sister' in friendship, I will miss you, you are always in my heart and memories everyday. Your kindness and laughter has helped me and my family through thick and thin. We have so many memories together, but the one I still laugh about is when you were 18 and I was 24, your father picked us up from work one night in his old Chevrolet. He took a curve a little to fast, and the door swung open and I started to lean out. You grabbed me, and your daddy grabbed you. We were laughing so hard we did not have time to get scared. When your daddy sold that old car, you and Elanore cried and cried. Too many memories, you said. That was around 1946. "Too many memories, my friend." In my heart, we are all crying.
