Dear Sonny,
My brother Rick and I want to let you know that our mother passed away this day, Oct 25, 2012.
She was 94 and she died in her home in Smithfield. I have attached a not-so-recent picture and
the beginnings of an obituary. We have not yet determined when the service will be.
Could you send this out to your Marshall email list?
I hope you are doing well,
Frances Aycock Kiker
