Thanks so much for the opportunity to help in the care of this lovely lady! I enjoyed hearing her stories about years gone by, the cotton fields, horse and buggy days, her brothers and sisters, and the love she had for her beloved Roy, her only son, Hilton Max, his wife Maryann, and her grands and great grands. This is so hard to type, with tears in my eyes, for you all know I loved her as if she were my own grandmother. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love and God Bless!
