Betty and all,
I was out of town when your mom died and just found out. She was a wonderful person and such an asset to our community. She gave a lot of love and that love lives on in the hearts of all she touched.

Brunson Family, I moved to Statesboro in 1997. Sara Page welcomed me at First Baptist where we shared in the Womans Missionary Union. She was a delightful encourager to, always with a warm smile. I had spoken with her the week before her death. I will miss her. Please receive my sincere sympathy. May God's comfort abound to bring peace in your grief.
