Dear Friends: Mrs.Dew was 'an angel

in white' at Retreat for the Sick

Hospital where I was fortunate enough to have her on all 3 surgeries some 35 years ago: how well I recall the joy she brought during those rough times: now, our angel has her wings: Tom was always welcomed in our home: may God's peace, love, hope, and joy be yours in daily blessings through all seasons of life's journey home.

Love and Prayers,

Dear Pat, Charles, Ronnie & Tom & Family Members,

My brother, Courtney Andrews, sent me the notice on e-mail of the death of your Mom. The short time that I got to be around her was always a delightful visit. I enjoyed always speaking with her for she was such a cheerful lady. My Mom, Martha Andrews, past away four years ago July and I have not been back to VA since. I certainly understand your lost but we are thankful for God's promise of a much better place in Eternity. I married in 1966; had two sons; lived in Richmond; Dallas; Pittsburg and now in Ga for 20 years. I was widowed at 48. I have been remarried 10 years and have 2 grown step children and we have 3 grandkids from my sons. This brief history shared is for you to see how much time has past since I saw Mrs. Dew, but I consider it a privilege to have known such a sweet lady and meet all her family. It was always a happy time to be with her and her family.

God bless each of you and bring peace to your heart.
