My sympathies to the entire family. I worked at Sandpiper when Willie Cooper Sojourner was living there. Bosie was so kind. Great memories!

So sorry to hear of your loss. Willie Cooper was a friend of my mother and aunt: Eloise Lanier Taylor and Susie Lanier Dodson and we were connected through our Aunt Marion Rigsby who married the Lanier girls' uncle Johnny Thweatt. We saw each other during our college years with my first husband Jim Baxter and Momma and I attended Fletcher and Bosie's wedding. I was just telling someone about the beautiful reception on JD's lawn last Saturday. I believe at one time the Carters lived near my first cousin Joan Sams Hodgkiss and King.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Carter Family. I never had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Carter. They say our children tell the Story of Us, Beau & Cooper your mom must have been proud of the story you're telling on her behalf.
