Sending deepest sympathy Teddie Lynn. You may not know me but your mom knew my mom (Cat Douthit). When I was a little girl we lived in an apartment on N. Bellevue next to the Scotts. You are blessed to have had your mom so long. Mine passed in ’05.
Teddie, sorry for your loss. I remember your mom’s smile and laughter. You and your family are in my prayers…God less you.
Mrs. Duke was a very special lady and friend to so many. How blessed you were.
Prayers are with you and your family.
Blanche was one fine Christian Lady. You were fortunate to have her as Mother, and we as friend.
Deepest sympathy in your loss. We love you!
Jon and Christie (Mitchell) Atkins
