Anne, My Prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Wish I could be therebut right now it does not look as though I can come for the Memorial. Vivian will always have a special place in my heart and I will never forget our friendship and the wonderful times we shared. The only thing we have is our memories and we should all do our best to make them momorable. Lots of love to you all. {I am on face book look me up}

I am so grateful to have had our beloved “Poppie” in my life for so many years. I will miss our chats, cheering for the Tar Heels with her, and enjoying the sausage balls she made. She was a beautiful woman and a wonderful friend.

I was so sorry to hear about Vivian’s death, but glad she is no longer struggling. I’m grateful to have gotten to know her over these past several years. I am lifting your family up in my prayers.

Dear Anne,
Your mother was a delightful person. “Cuz”, as we referred to each other, will surely be missed. We will not be at the service but know that our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
