Karen, Jim and the Hughes family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.  When I was in high school, your Mother was one of the best substitute teachers I have ever had.  The respect that she demanded was the same that she gave in return; she was a remarkable lady.  During your time of sadness, allow God to comfort you as only He can.

My prayers are with you and your family at this time. I have to go to Valdosta on Friday to get our granddaughter and won't be back in time to be there with you.

We are very sorry for the passing of your wife and mother. We pray that she is now in God's hands and that God's grace gives you strength during this time. Our friendship with Bill started as we were very young college students at UF College of Pharmacy and has lasted these many years. We've watched our families grow and as each year passed, our friendship has strengthened. Your family will be in our prayers. Gary and Kathy Padgett
