Peggy, your Mom was very "Special". I loved her very much and enjoyed our little visits when I was healthy. She always seemed so happy, friendly, and full of life and I admired and respected her more than anyone knew.

I was sorry I couldn't celebrate with you today, but I was there in heart and spirit. Even tho we didn't really talk before this I feel very close to you.

Much Love and Prayers,
Pat Reeves (Next Door Neighbor and Friend)

My deepest sympathy for your loss. Miss Addie Mae was always so sweet and caring. I was watching a video on mine and Alan's wedding reception and she was just a smiling and having fun. I have always been glad that she convinced me to come by the shop and meet Alan and Matt. I think she knew that Alan was the one for me. It's now 25yrs for us to be married. She will be missed by a lot of people. I have always loved her for her. Love, Petra Gilbert
