Barbara and I wanted to send our thoughts and prayers to you and your family. After reading about your mother it is obvious she was a great and loving lady. I know all the members of the Cashwell Class at Hayes Barton Baptist Church have you in their thoughts.
Rich and I send our thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this time. Your mother was very active in the Creedmoor community and will be missed.
....I am so sorry for your loss, but happy for your mom, now in heaven. I saw her on Thursday at lunch, standing in line at McDonalds. She was bright, smiling, shining and her 'always' pleasant, humble self. I never saw her that she didn't speak and speak kind words. Both your mom and dad were true role models for the community.
I will doing a funeral at 2pm in Winston Salem tomorrow, otherwise I would love to be with you, to support and love on you all. Please call if I can do anything at all for anyone of you. I am in the phone book...
I will be praying for you all...
