Brenda and Family...I was saddened to learn of your Mother's passing. She was such a sweet lady. I very much enjoyed talking to her several times when we were planning our Claxton 8th grade Reunions. I will keep each of you in my thoughts and prayers. Audrie

To the McCurdy family, I wish to extend my sincere sympathy. Evelyn was a lovely, brave and positive lady. She always saw the bright side of things instead of concentrating on the bad. She will be missed by all who knew her.
