Kelley, Bobbie Ann and family,. Many childhood memories of time spent with you and your family. We're just seeing Mrs. Bobbie Ann passed away. Please know our thoughts and prayers are for you. Interesting enough this past week someone asked Danny how his family came to live in Winder . Of course Herald Harrison, Harrison Poultry was the answer. Your mom's picture is just as I remember her. Such a pretty lady.

It was a privilege to be able to work for and to be able to know Patsy she had an uncanny sense of humor and love of her family and friends.
She made me feel like a part of the family and not just an employee and I thank you for that I'll miss you very much
