So sorry to hear about your mother. I met her only one time but remember how sweet she was to me, a very nice lady. The wonderful memories your mother has made for you will always be there to help with the difficult grieving process.

Snows were such good neighbors to our Grandparents, Clyde and Rose Davidson. They shared gardening plans, neighborhood friendships and food. They were such fine people. I know you will miss your Grandmother. God bless you. Elizabeth (Weeks) Woods

I worked with Bob for years at FMC and he and Margaret kept me in fresh vegetables and would not take a dime for them. They were both wonderful people.
