Mrs. Stewart, I will truly miss you and the talks we use to have. I only wished I could have done more to help you. I will miss you and I love you. Carol Cosby-Tillar Happy Hill was never the same after we lost most of our friends!!!

My visits with Ms. Ruth on Thursday evenings at the Convalescent center were delightful as we worshipped the Lord together in prayer, hymns and scripture reading. We also enjoyed lots of laughs together. I came to love her and will miss her very much. Mrs. Cheryl Tolbert
