Dear Alston and Anne Macon,
My thoughts and prayers are there with you today,as they have been for some time now. Your Mother fought this cruel sickness bravely, and with dignity, for a very long time. You must find comfort in the fact that all that could be done for her, was done. When it's our time to go though, God calls us home, and our trials and suffering are no more.
With love,
Willie Burton Daniel

Well, removes any doubt where Anne Macon got her looks, smile and smarts. Not to overlook the Judge, but evidence is evidence. I guess being a lawyer demonstrates it was a team effort. Mary and I are sorry for your loss(es) over the last two years and know that your memories will sustain you for a long time.
