I'm so glad that I had the opportunity of getting to know your mother through my work with DFCS at the region office. She was always a pleasant person with such a good sense of humor. I lost my mother two months ago, so know what you're experiencing.

Mothers......... I know for certain we never lose the people we LOVE. They are always with us. We, our Mother's children, are left with this indelible imprint of memories. We find comfort in the fact not as we once shared, but that we will always have that incredible never-ending Love.

I worked with Saralyn at DFCS. She helped many people in her community and was an outstanding leader for DFCS in her community as well as the agency at large. It was my pleasure to be her supervisor. She needed very little help, but she was always willing to seek or accept help when needed. She was also a very good friend and my life is richer for having known her and benefited from her counsel through the years.

I remember spending the night with Joy at Mrs. Overstreet's house when I was in elementary school - so long ago, but wonderful childhood memories. She was a wonderful lady and will be missed by her many friends in Hazlehurst.
