Dear Shirley and family,

Was so sorry to see Howard's death in the paper. I am Grace and John Lawson's daughter. I really miss all of my friends and family in Kingstree. I got married again in 1992, and moved to Lexington. I like it here, but there's no place like home. My prayers will be with all of you and my love. Would love to hear from you. Ann(803-957-7803).
