Our community extends sympathy to the family of JoAnn Pittman. We remember JoAnn when she visited our community with the late Charles Brigham Ayers. She was a quiet gentle lady. Please pray for her dear family and friends that will miss her presence here, until that heavenly reunion day.

A special 18th birthday dinner was given in honor of Elizabeth Miller at her home in Lascassas. Many family and friends attended this celebration. Elizabeth is one of my great-granddaughters. She has always been a sweetheart full of love and concern for others. We wish Elizabeth much success in her future endeavors.
