Brenda, I remember your Mom from when all us young couples were running around together. She was always so nice to me. I am so sorry for your loss. Mom's are so special. I miss mine every day even after a year and a half. Just remember all the happy times and fun you had with her. I don't know if she was sick before she died, but if so, try to remember before then. It helps. I will be praying for you and your family. Judy "Mulvihill" Flores

I have fond memories of Ms. Kathleen when I was starting out at the Natchez Democrat in the sales department. She always helped the new guys to get it right. She was a very sweet lady, I know she will be missed by all of you.
Sincerely
Donald Norman
