    Harry I was so sad to hear about Ms Taylor. Every since I was a little girl growing up she was always such kind southern lady.

    Ms. Velma was a close friend of my late aunt, Estelle Hardin. I remember her kindly and always loved hearing about their progressive suppers and other outings with their close circle. My sympathy at your loss.
