    We were so sorry to hear the sad news about your wonderful mom. I remember many nights at her house as we grew up in Hendersonville and used to borrow her car to go on outings, especially the Jackie Wilson concert in Greenville, SC. That must have been about 1963 or 1964?? May God look upon her with favor and grant each of you comfort in these difficult times. Our love is with you. Brooks & Susan Shepherd Charlotte, NC
