Can't ever forget your kind telephone call to me before Mom (Grace Underwood) passed away and you told me that all would be ok. Now you're dancing with the angels with Mom and Aunt Ruth laughing at you. Those of us left behind will miss you and wish you were still with us. Love to all your family in this time and many prayers going up for them.Marietta Underwood Harrison and Brother Douglas Cecil Underwood.
