Hi Cheryl,

We are so very sorry for your loss of your mother. And we'll always be very grateful that you took the time and effort to bring her to Picayune to visit with all of us. This made Fred Sr. so happy during his last days, and I was delighted to finally meet his cousin Doris he always spoke so fondly of. I hope they are again sharing a good laugh. We all hope that your loving memories of your mother bring you comfort in the coming days.

Lorraine, Fred, and Joanne Zimmerle, Picayune, MS

Jerry and Cheryl,

I worked with your Mom at NOME Credit Union many years ago. Doris was always full of life and quick with a joke, or a smart tongue (when needed). I enjoyed working with her and had some fun times too.
