  • Mary, we extend our prayerful sympathy in your loss of your mother. I worked with you and her at Pulaski South Social Services in the '70s. My wife, Winnie Doss (Brown) Reed knew your mother since childhood. Your mother was about 13 years older than Doss and both lived off the old Pine Bluff Highway in Sweet Home. We wish God's richest blessings for you during these difficult days.
