The Grier kids are all thinking of Carol's family. Our Mama died in April, and we miss her everyday. But two decades spent at the Manor, Mom met some wonderful friends. And she loved Carol and all of us kids have fun memories of laughing with her. We are thinking of you folks.

Amy, it was a pleasure to meet your mom at a "picnic" at Presbyterian Manor some years ago. My condolences to you and rest of your family. She was full of spunk and I know now where you get it from. She lived in the best of years.
