I would like to extend my condolences to the Fanning and Eason Family. I had the pleasure of helping to take care of Mrs. Myra for the last few months. My only regret was not being able to know her in her younger years, because she seemed like a wonderful woman who raised some great children. I will keep all of yall in my prayers and thoughts.
