Searcy, Donna, Peggy, and Robert:
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I have so many memories of your wonderful family and mother, who made me feel like one of hers. To this day I can hardly go to bed without wishing Johnny Carson was on tv.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers...

Last time I visited with Ditsy was at the nursing home, I was visiting June and then Alice Thomas. We talked for a minute,
remembered a chocolate cake incident with Mike ? lived across the street. Talked about Searcy and Donna. Short but a good visit.
She was a great LADY. My deepest condolences and my prayers go out to all that will miss her.
