My mother always showed love and care to me. I am so glad I had such a beautiful, self-sacrificing mother. Her crowns in heaven must be many. God Bless all my wonderful sisters and brothers, extended family, caregivers and friends who shared in the love of our mom and her passing. Celia Lair Julian

Most of my childhood memories involve Mrs. Lair, since we lived right next door to the Lair family for years and were friends with all of the Lair kids. I know she will be greatly missed by all of you, and extend my prayers for your comfort at this time.
