We didn't know her, but we met her once at Sue's house. She was friendly and had a nice smile. You could tell she was a proper southern woman who loved her daughters. She had two very special daughters. With sympathy, Alan & Marcia Dawes

Sue, I send my condolences to you on the passing of your mom.  We have lived away from Winston-Salem many years but moved back last year.  Her picture shows the same smile I remember.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
