Take your rest, Momma Porter. I will always remember you allowing me to keep my dignity as an 18 year when I made a mistake in the community. The fond memories of working with you at Rutland will forever be cherished as well, especially the wisdom and support you extended while encouraging me to finish school when you sensed I wanted to throw in the towel. Well Done and Forever Grateful, Swade Huff ππΎπππΎ

Gwen always had that beautiful & contagious smile. I remember coming to Athens for our family reunions and I would stay with Gwen sometimes. Even when I didn't stay with her, I always made time to just go see her. We laughed. We hugged. We just had a good time. She was so full of life. I will always cherish those memories. I am praying for the you Angel, Rick, the grands & the family. β€οΈ
