May the many good years and wonderful memories sustain you. The "Pilout girls" were something else! I want you to know how sorry I am to know that Mrs. Rainey is gone. I loved her and will miss being able to visit with her at the nursing home. That is where we met...I was a nurse there a couple of years ago on evening shift and she was my regular patient. She always called herself "mean" but I could see right through her. She was a very sweet lady and I have kept in touch with her since I left. I have letters that she wrote to me and I will keep them. We are so sorry for your loss. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. We pray that all of the good memories will be of great comfort. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful memories. Nancy Leonard McQuage & family I was so sorry to learn of your mother's death; I know that you will miss her. May wonderful memories of her bring you comfort. Posted by: Jane Hawkins Tucker at February 21, 2007 06:25 PMBet was one of a kind, I can't even begin to tell you how much we will miss her.
