Dear Judy,
Your mom was my 2nd grade teacher at Peyton Elementary in 1952 or 53. I loved her. She inspired me to become a teacher and later a principal. I'm sure she had a good life and was always concerned for others. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.

Dear Judy and all the family,
I am sorry for your loss but rejoice in your mom's homegoing. I will be praying for you.
Lots of memories of Jack and Velva growing up in Mud River Baptist Church. I appreciate the contribution they made to my life as leaders of the Church. They were faithful and a good witness to me as a young man.
Ellen and still have the silverware that Velva gave us as a wedding gift.
Lots of love to you all.
Pastor Brent Gibson
