Tom and family, I don't have to tell yy what a special lady she was. I adored and admired her. She was so wonderful as a Sunday School teacher and touched the lives of many children. She always taught them so much about the Bible. I am sorry for all she went through the last years. You all have my deepest sympathy. Vicky

Loretta had a lovely smile and often a twinkle in her eyes. I'm sure she was a great inspiration to many children as their Sunday school teacher, but none more than her devoted family.

Mrs. Higgins was a pleasant aquaintance and I have fond memories of my interactions with her. Many years ago when I was a teenager working at Slaughter's Supermarket, I was always happy to see her come in .....She always had a smile and kind greeting to share. I am sure she never knew the positive difference she made. Thinking of you,
