Thank You

Bill Roughton, owner of Griffin Roughton Funeral Home.  For the preparation of
my mother Matie Belle Romine.  Due to the extraordinary skills of Bill and his
staff, Mother looked 60, not the almost 91 years she attained.  The image of my
mother will be remembered for as long as I live.  I would not have thought it
was possible, but the skills of Griffin Roughton exceeded all my expectations.
                                Glynn R. Emdy
