Linda I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I know how difficult this is and will be praying for strength and comfort in the days to come. Sincerely, Don and Linda Tooley
Linda and Ronnie, We are so sorry to learn of the death of your mom. We remember the good times we had visiting with her at Sunday lunch at the café in Kingston. You and all your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May our Lord comfort and sustain you during this time. Our love to you.
Linda, Virginia & family, So sorry to hear about Aunt Mary Lou. It was unbelievable how I found out. My wife Gwynn and I drove up to Ardmore after Christmas to visit Kenneth, who’s in the VA after suffering a stroke a few months ago. Coming back today we stopped in Gainesville to put some flowers on my folks’ grave and saw the Boston headstone. Had forgotten that they were that close together. Walking up there I saw the fresh grave and couldn’t believe it. We had just been talking about her 5 minutes earlier, remembering that the last time we saw her was about 10 years ago at the old home in Gainesville. Just really couldn’t believe it. In any case, called Peggy, who lives in W Virginia now. We offer our deepest condolences. Aunt Mary Lou was such a sweet person. Know you all will miss her.
