Condolences

We send our condolences to our friend Sue Aistrop for the death of her dear mother, Margaret “Lizzy” Lane in Big Stone Gap.

She was the kindest lady I ever knew. When we worked for Clara May Sanders I got to know her and enjoyed working with her. She was a mother to everyone she knew.
