Gayle, I am so sorry I missed the services. I didn't know about it until the night of the funeral. Your mother was a such a special person. She was a good friend to our families over the years. She will be missed.

My Aunt Ima_ She always had a sparkle in her eye and a smile. She would always ask about Erin and Kelsey, Betty and Will and I would always spin a story or two about each. Such a great Aunt. Will miss you. Gary Lowrance and Family and Laverne Lowrance and Darrel Lowrance
