I am so glad Hannah and I got to have lunch with Miyoko, Bill, and Ellen this past summer.

I also remember as a child visiting Tubby and Miyoko with Uncle Lawton and Aunt Mamie when they lived in Ravenel.

I remember Miyoko, my mother's friend when we both lived in Hanahan, SC back in the 60's when I was a child. She would visit with Eddie and we looked at Brittanica encyclopedias. She was a gracious, attractive lady.
God bless her and Bill, Eddie, and family in this time of sorrow..may your joyful memories of her bring you peace and sustain you during this difficult time.

A person that passes from this earth never truly leaves. Your mother will continue to live in your hearts and minds, in the manners she taught you, in the values she instilled, in the mannerisms you adopted from her. I am truly sorry for the loss of your mother.
