I am sad at your loss, but happy for you that you had your Mother for so many years. Ms Mary wore a fine name in this community, one that you can be proud of. God bless you in your loneliness for her ………Love Janice and Major White

I am sure Rev. Leo will be missed. I knew him when I was a child in Loris. When he let our area I missed the family. I have thought of you all many times. Love to you all.
