  1. Sending our deepest sympathy to the Mayo family and to Polly Warner… our thoughts and prayers are with you. In His Love, George and Stephanie Ramey

  2. I was so saddened to hear of Faye’s death. Such a sweet, lady. When I taught Bible Study at Brookdale she attended as long as her health permitted. She often talked so fondly of Claude and her family. She was a real joy to be around. She is now free of pain and has perfect eyesight. I will miss her sweet smile and spirt. My sincere sympathy to her family.

  3. SORRY TO HEAR OF THE PASSING OF FAYE;. WE WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER. MAY THE LORD BLESS EACH FAMILY MEMBER. MARY TREVATHAN EZZELL

  4. So sorry for your loss. Revelation 213,4 comforts us. There it says that soon pain and death will be gone forever! John 528,29 says there will be a resurrection of our loved ones. Until then, may the God of all comfort be with your family. ( 2 Corinthians 13,4)

  5. Sorry to hear about Fay. I have known her since the second grade. Her mother was a grade mother while at Braswell School and carried us kids to a lot of places. Fay was always a special friend and we had many good times in High School. I also remember Claude. He was a little older than me, but we were in the High School Band together when I was in grammar school. Carroll Wiggs

  6. Miriam Reynolds and all,her progeny are dear to me as she was a dear friend. So Polly, my heart goes out to you for all your losses. Just know that Jesus is still your best friend and willl always be there to comfort you. God bless you, dear.
