Lori, I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. Mrs. Sybil was always so sweet when she called me for assistance at work. I’ll have to tell you the remote control story sometime.

JoAnn, Wade and family. I am so sorry for the loss of Aunt Sib. She was such a kind and loving person. I was able to talk with her last week. I am thankful for those last words that we were able to share. I’ll not forget her and the love that she shared with us all. I am sending prayers for you in this difficult time. My thoughts are with you. Mary
