  10. Dear Mrs. Ayscue and Debbie, Cynthia Styron Broadwell just texted me today about Lori. I was so shocked and actually had tried from time to time to find her on FB. I did not know where she had moved to. I am just so sorry that I did not know. I retired in 2019 and live back in Pine Level again. Both of my sisters also retired and moved back here.I remember so fondly all the great times we had playing together and growing up, coming of age in a small town. Every time I drive by the parsonage, I think of you and remember. Please know you have my sympathies.Lori was such a bright shining star, taken far too soon. She will be greatly missed. I live right next to the school in Pine Level, where I lived before with my sisters and Mother before she passed away. Please stop by if you ever come back to Pine Level. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Big hugs, Lynn
