So sorry for your loss. Sugar was certainly one of the loving shining lights of direction to us who had the pleasure of growing up at Spray Baptist Church. There is no doubt that she is walking those streets of gold. Prayers for each of you in the days ahead. Sincerely, Diana Shough Biggs

I am so very sorry to hear of your mothers passing. She was a very sweet and kind lady. You was such a wonderful caring son to her. I always enjoyed talking with y’all when you came into Eden Drug. I loved when she would talk about her (cat me 2) she loved that cat. You was a very blessed man to have her as a mother and she was a very blessed women to have you as a son. Until y’all meet again. God Bless you and your family, Lee Ann Kapps Artis
