Tommie, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. You were so dedicated to your mother and I will miss her being with you at Pizza Inn. I wish I could be with you at the service but I have a prior appointment. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and the rest of the family. So glad I got to see her last Monday and got another hug. May God bless you with strength and reconciling grace to His will. Love, Harold Pittman-Pizza Inn
Grandma Baker was one of the finest women I have ever met. She never met a stranger. She was kind to everyone and treated everyone alike. She loved me like I was one of her own. My life is better for having known her. She is now where she truly wanted to be. She has gone to heaven to be with Jesus, Seth, Faye, and all her other family members that has gone. Thank you Grandma Baker for loving me. Tim McFatter
So sorry for your loss, but rejoicing that she is in Heaven with the Lord. Sending love and prayers to you all.
I had the pleasure of working with Foye at Abbott. She always had that pretty smile and laugh. She made some of the best Chew Bread, once tasting of it you would never forget how good it was! Last time I saw her in Walmart she was stilling smiling. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family and may God Bless You and take care of you. Kirby & Barbara Dupree
