Ed, I am heart broken! I just saw this, it’s midnight and I’ll have to reach you tomorrow. I called Corona every few weeks & we were talking about me coming thru Fayetteville as I always tried to do to see her when I headed to Nashville in the coming weeks. I had just talked to her 2 weeks ago. This breaks my heart. I am so very sorry.
#31 Comment By Linda Overton On August 27, 2020 @ 1:20 am
Ed, I just found out from a friend about your Mom passing away. I am broken hearted as I called her every few weeks to catch up and see how she was. My last call was to her on her Birthday August 3 & I told her I would come by & take her to lunch as we tried to do when I was on my way to Nashville. Please let me know when her service will be. I will miss her & I know you will too.

Connie and Ed so sorry for the loss of your Mother. We worked together for many years. I think she enjoyed her real estate more than any job she had. She enjoyed attending her Class of 1951 Class Breakfasts that met once a month. I have been in so long I did not know she was sick, I will miss her. Love Joyce
