So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was such a sweet lady. I enjoyed keeping in touch through the years with Christmas cards and such. She came to Mom's 80th birthday party a few years ago. It was really nice to see her. She hadn't changed a bit! Still so very pretty!
Please know you all are in our thoughts and prayers. It seems like so any of our friends parents are passing away. I guess it's the age we are. Alan's brother Dan has a beautiful picture of the PTA moms from Franklin. Your mom was in the picture as well as Betty Riley. Mrs. Riley passed away last summer. They were all so pretty and elegant.
I will enjoy my memories of your mom. How can I look at my wedding pictures and not think of her? She did a great job! So many people in Little Rock remember her for doing their weddings.
She was one of a kind and will be missed. Alan and I are both glad we had a chance to know her.
Take care-
Alan and Susan Joyce
