I have very fond memories of Mrs. Golightly and Mr. Golightly. I remember them from the time I was a student at Chicora Elementary in the late 1950's. He was a fine gentleman. Mrs, Golightly was especially dear to my family since she played the organ at the funeral of both my parents in 1985. I spoke with them often whenever I would see them shopping at Winn-Dixie at Pinehaven. My sincere condolences go to you, Carolyn, and your family. God bless you, all. Kennetn D. White, Chicora Elementary Class of 1957.
