Debby,
My memories going to your families nursery are lovely ones in my mind. My Mother, Frankie Adams and I dearly admired your sweet parents Mr. and Mrs. Dietz and their love and care for what they did. I recall your Father Debby, always working so hard to keep the plants tended too. I went to school with you Debby and I think of my childhood memories knowing you. I hope you remember me. My family lived on Jefferson Park Drive. I use to walk through the woods to get to your nursery. I always bought Mother Day flowers from your nursery. I lost my father Floyd Adams 5 years ago. Mother is now 78 yrs old and I have her here with me in Fort Worth Texas. My love and prayers are with you and your family. I would love to hear from you. Take care, Kathy

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember all the good times we had with your father at the Christmas Tree farm and the greenhouse. I always miss those days. He was a very dedicated man to his family and business.

I am so sorry for your loss. I just got word from Dad this morning. I know "JImmy" meant alot to my Dad for the stories they exchanged. He was a kind and caring man who always greeted everyone with a smile. He truly will be missed by many. God must be thrilled at his angel's arrival. He's finally home! My love and thoughts are with you all.
