Debra, Vonda, and family, I am sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She and your dad are part of my earliest memories going to church at Bigelow Baptist. I always enjoyed reading her Bigelow News in the Perry County paper when we were in CA...her news from HOME was special to this old girl far away. Love and prayers. So sorry for your loss.
