Nanny's Rose

OUR GRANDMOTHER'S ROSES: These roses are on a bush Tammy Coffey Stanley started from a rose which grew by our grandmother's, Dot Harper's, house, after Nanny died. They were Nanny's favorites," Shamarie Claiborne writes. "Every time I see them I think of Nanny. Lucky Tammy has the green thumb in the family. Not me. I'm really thankful she saved them. Out at Nanny and Granddaddy's old house, the roses have all been removed, so the family is very fortunate to have these beautiful, healthy roses nurtured by my cousin."

Remembering Billy Phillips: You are in our hearts forever

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

It seams like yesterday when family were together.I can not believe that It has been one year since my Cousin, Billy Phillips was taken away from his family.

But God gives us hope to go on. It made me stop and think that you never know what is going to happen. So I make every day count, and live It to the fullness.

God gives us what we need. I just wish that people would not take things for granted. And that they would enjoy their families and take time out to do things with them; and to enjoy life.

Billy, we miss you so very much. But you will be in are hearts forever.

Love you,
s/Kathryn and Cindy Phillips

Families: The Harveys and memories of Upper Jamestown Street

Dr. Phil Aaron's story on Pina Lee Pyles and her wonderful family connected to so many, many people. For writer Tony Harvey, it reminded him of the his own proud family, and his own rich heritage. The story which follows is about feelings, and health and the immediate pain a death brings; about a great era when Jamestown Street had several distinct neighborhoods, one of which the Harveys built; and the nostalgic memories of the days of Donnie's Drive-in and the filling station, and real values in the good old days

By Tony Harvey

I must say that I really enjoyed reading the wonderful story by Dr Phil Aaron about Pina Lee Pyles and her wonderful outlook. Pina Lee Pyles' attitude toward her medical issue is the key to having success in the treatment, I would have to agree.

Even with a good attitude, some are luckier than others. Our family lost a wonderful person on March 22, 1974, to kidney disease. My aunt Eris Pauline Sharp was my father Harold "Reece" Harvey's oldest sister. She passed away a day after my mother, Lena Christine "Flatt" Harvey died.
