My brother Charles Edwards of Maumelle and I would like to express our sympathy to you in the loss of your mother. We remember your family well from when you lived in Camden and were friends of our parents. We lost our mother in 2000 (Frances) and our father Paul in 2007 at age 101. I believe our father followed your father as manager of the Camden City Water Utilities. We will be remembering your loss in our prayers.

My grandparents were Evie and Bill Knighten. As a child I bought many ice creams and candy from the store. I remember your mother's african violets and that "crazy bass cat" on the wall. Such great memories of Murfreesboro. Your parents were so special to my parents-Archie Alice & Lamar Knighten and to my family. My mother is in heaven also and my heart goes out to all of you. God Bless You!

So sorry to hear about Mrs. Bray. She and Mr. Bray meant so much to me while I was growing up in Murfreesboro. They both treated me like a son through the years I worked for them.
