Guestbook

  1. Just wanted to tell you that I’m sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. She and I worked together at Planters Bank in the Customer Service Department when I first joined the bank in 1980. Your Mother was a very sweet and caring woman, took me under her wing to train and I just thought a lot of her. You don’t find many people in today’s banking world to go above and beyond like your Mother did. May you find comfort knowing others cared about her too. Sincerely, Karen Hines Hobson

  2. To The Family of Margaret Harris Landis Dear Friends, I know that you were saddened by the death of Margaret. She will be greatly missed by you and her many friends. Though sympathy is small consolation, even when it comes from the hearts of those who hsare your sorrow, I want you to know how keenly your loss is felt by me and others who knew her. It was my privilege to know Margaret personally. I had a great deal of respect for her and greatly appreciated her friendship. Although there is little that I can do or say to help you in this time of grief, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Fred Turnage

  3. Jodie Just wanted you to know that you are in our prayers. The passing of our parents leaves a void in our lives that our memories and love will now have to fill. May our Lord provide you the strength and peace you will need in the coming days and weeks. I remember your dad well, he was a very kind man. As I read your mom’s legacy in the paper, it jogged some memories; from an old classmate at RMSH, Thurman Tyson
