We got to know your Mom and Dad when they began attending First Baptist, Very nice People. After your Dad passed I kept in touch with your Mom through cards, It was my hope that they would brighten her day hearing from someone at her Church. I am sorry that she has passed but happy that she is with your Dad. Paul and Janice Greco

Loved to have your mom over to sit on our back porch and visit with Lillian. They were more like sisters. I miss them both.
