So sorry to hear this, but I know the joy she is surrounded by now. I remember her as far back as my memories go. We attended the same church for many years, one which she faithfully served. My condolences to her children, family and friends.

Hank and I enjoyed our visits with this lovely lady so much. We listened to stories about early Charleston and also the life of my pediatrician, Dr. Rhett.
We send sincere sympathy to the family along with admiration for the loving effort taken to make her last years the best they could possibly be.
