Diane, Your Mom was a great person. I'll always remember Kehoe and your Mom on a trip we took to Daufuskie with Pockets and his girl friend. Pocks was moaning and groaning and Kehoe broke the mood with 'give that cow some more rope'. I never heard Pockets laugh louder. That's one of many great memories from 'the Island'. And if Jeannie '27 Oaks' thinks ther are no more old Wilmington Islanders left, just look in the mirror and think back. Your Mom and all of us were part of a very unique group. Best of everything. Thanks for the memories. John Stone

Diane, You and your family are in my prayers. I cannot even begin to what it's like to lose a parent and dread the day that I do have to face it. I love you and am praying for you, Alecia, Mark, and your grandbabies. Sincerely, Pam Weldon
