Dear Mandy,

Dearest Madeline, Jimmy, and Danny, It's especially hard to think of your mom's passing because she was the last sibling. Marshall always brought energy and fun to our family gatherings. Big Daddy and Big Mama certainly had independent and interesting children, and we're all better for it. May all of you remember the good days. Her disease is a cruel one, and we can all pray for a cure as there are few families who haven't been affected by it. Much love to you! Georgia

Mrs. Mandy-

What a wonderful daughter you are! Your devotion to Mrs. Marshall as she battled this horrible disease for so many years is nothing short of remarkable. The loss of a parent at any age is devastating but my hope is that you will find comfort in all of the happy memories you have been blessed with.

Our thoughts and prayers are focused on you, Richard, Lauren, Melissa and the rest of your family during this difficult time.

We love you!

April, Michael, Ansley & Ben
