Sandra, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Since I have not had any communication with you or the family in many years, I was not aware of her still living in Eden. I will always remember she and your dad when you lived on the Stoneville Road. They were so good and kind to me as a teenager in taking me to church and allowing me time at your home. May the Lord strengthen you and bring comfort as you walk through this time of grief in your life. Love and prayers, Donna Stanley Johnson, Burlington, NC
