Dear Ang and Matt,
What an elegant and gracious woman your grandmother was! From the moment of our meeting, she put LaMont and me at ease and made us feel welcome in her home. I'm glad to have had the chance to meet someone like her. My heart is with you as you remember and cherish her.

Dear Daphne and Family,

You are in my thoughts and prayer. I will always remember her beautiful smile and sparkling, blue eyes, when I first joined PAGWC a few years ago. What an inspiration to us all.
