Dear Teresa and Shane, I am so sorry for the loss
of your mother. Your Mom and Dad were wonderful
neighbors to my aunt and uncle Bruce and Maydell
Deakins. She lovingly called Maydell "Mims". The
last time I saw your Mom was at a Hales Ruritan
Club picnic. May God Bless You.
My heart and prayers go out to Teasea Taylor and her family
during this difficult time. May all your memories give you peace
and comfort God bless.
I love you and I'll miss you so much. Not only were you my Aunt, but you were my very best friend.
