Please know I am grieving with you all even though I never met your Mother. Years ago, I sent cards to your Grandmother, Mrs. Hopkins. After Mrs. Hopkins died, Viola and I continued to write and send cards to each other. We enjoyed a close friendship over the years, and I cried when I saw her obituary in the News and Record this morning.I would appreciate so much if someone in your family has a picture you can send me. I made an attemp to print the page from the funeral home, but could not get it to print. Viola was a lovely lady and I shall miss her greatly. I have counted her as a friend for over 40 yrs., and I shall truly miss her. Shirley G. White, 5l7 South Sixth Avenue, Siler City N C 27344

To The Bryant Family: I am truly sorry for the loss of your dear love one.During times like these, hearts are filled with pain and sorrow. However, please keep in mind God's promise found in the Bible at Revelation chapter 21, verse 4. It reads:"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." You have my sincere condolence.
