    Brenda, so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Our sincere condolences to you, George and the rest of the family. May the memories of your Mom and the peace of knowing she is free from pain and her eyesight is completely healed help you all during this time.

    I was so sorry to hear about Aunt Margie. It always tickled me how much she and my Nana talked on the phone – it made me wish I had a sister I could gab to! I have warm memories of visiting with her and Uncle GH – she always had something delicious and homemade to share. She was deeply loved and will be deeply missed.

    My mother, Betty Byrd Fulcher, spoke on the phone to her sister , best friend and confidante., my Aunt Margie, almost every day. Aunt Margie lived for her family. I am so happy that she lived the last years of her life surrounded by all those she loved most. We loved her and will miss her.
