I am so sorry to read this. Your Mom was a lovely lady. My mother so enjoyed working with her and knowing her. I can remember going to visit her and how welcoming she always was. She was a wonderful example of Christ's love. Thinking of you all...Cathy Busby Zevac

Though much time has passed and long distance between us, I have fond memories of our cross country childhood car trips to visit Mabel, E.Q., our other aunts and uncles, cousins and Nana in Alabama. Playing hide and seek at Mabel's house, grits and ham for breakfast and, in more recent times, the goats, the crawdads and the workshop. I will always remember Mabel's kindness and hospitality. My prayers are with her beloved children, Pam and David, and the rest of her family.
