I have just tonight learned of Mrs Limerick's death. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. She was a pleasure to visit with and a gracious southern lady who expressed a sincere intrest in everyone she met. Our world has lost a true Lady and I know a star shines bright in God's heaven with her name on it! I feel blessed to have known her.
My thoughts and prayers of comfort are with each and every one of you. God Bless.
