We will always remember the warm sense of humor and the southern genteelness of your Mother. The homemade donuts at her Avon sales and her fried chicken with yeast rolls were unsurpassed by anyone. These are the best memories we have of your Mother. She was a very nice lady. With sincere sympathy to the entire family, Loretta & Les
