Sloan, My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of your loss. You have been kind and helpful to all the Lenoir, Greene and Old Dobbers members. I feel that we are each a part of an extended family. In our search for family history we are usually happy to find dates to add to our family trees, but the death date of one's mother is a difficult one to add. Blessings to you and your family as you remember the times of joy and happiness with your mother.
