    I worked for your dad and uncle for a number of years. After your dad passed away, your mom would take Sue Teeters and I to lunch or dinner. Sometimes we visited her at her home. I remember one time that she took Sue and I to Chicago for the weekend. We had a great time! She was always so kind and gracious to us. I’ve wondered about her many times since she moved to NC. I know that you will all miss her very much.
    My deepest sympathies.

    Just a note to express my condolence for the loss of your love one. During times like these, hearts are filled with grief and pain. However, please find comfort in the scripture found in the Bible at Revelation chapter 21, verse 4. It reads: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes. and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
    Also, please keep in your hearts and minds the resurrection hope. Cherish the hope of seeing your love one again.
    You have my heart felt sympathy.

    Diane and family:
    I have such wonderful memories of your Mom. I worked for John up until the time of his death and then spent time with Bev. One of my fondest memories was when I took Bev to a flea market. She had a great time — John was not pleased! Also, Bev, Krea Kier Gregory and I spent a weekend in Chicago. We took the train down, saw a show and shopped. We took Bev on a Chicago transit bus. She didn’t like that but was such a good sport. It was a wonderful weekend. I lost my own Mother in September so I know what you are going through. My condolences and prayers to you and your family.

    Sue Teeters
