I was very sorry to learn that Rema passed away. I will always remember her cheerful manner at the courthouse while she was there to help hold the election. I enjoyed our visits during that time. She was a great person who will be remembered for her faith and interest in other people. My condolences to R.C. and the family.

What a nice lady. She was always so pleasant when she worked in the elections and always stopped by our office at the courthouse each day when she was working elections there. I know she will be missed.

I understand your pain and loss at her passing, because I have gone through what you are now struggling with. I will miss her also, for 35 years she was a good friend to me. God will give you strength to face the days ahead.

Dear Becky,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I lost mine about 12 years ago. It is a bad situation. But with the help of God and your children you can get through this. If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to call. I live in Knoxville, where I have been since high school.
