So sorry for your loss. Praying for the family for comfort during this time.
So sad about Uncle Everett. He will certainly be missed.
Love,
Dee
Lillie Sue, we are so sorry for your loss. You and Everett have always been strong supporters of the Frierson and Lane families. You both were always there when needed. You don’t know how much it meant to look across the room and see you and Everett when family presence was important. Kathy and I are praying that God will comfort you and your family and hold you close as you deal with your loss. We love you!
