Scott, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a dear lady and she will certainly be missed. I remember the good old days in Aiken when y'all owned and operated the Zack's Yogurt franchise on Pine Log Rd. This will only be special to me but I do want to pass along a bit of personal information. When my daughter Brittany was born back in 1990, your Mom gave her a small stuffed bear wearing a polka dotted jumpsuit. My daughter affectionately called that her "Hokie". She loved that snuggle gift so much and it became part of her being. We have kept that since then and now Brittany has given it to her daughter Blake born last year. This is just a short, sweet story about how kind your Mom was and we have never forgotten that. I am smiling really big as I type this now. Please know our thoughts and prayers will be with you and the entire family during this difficult time. Love you Brother!
