Condolences to the Dunlop family from Elder JR Hairston and family.
My Condolences to the Thomasson and Dunlap family. Brenda was my classmate year 1980. We also ran track together. She was a very fast runner. And those nails, I always asked her do they get in the way. She would say they just like anybody nails. Lol! She did have a soft voice, shy at times. But did carry a beautiful smile. Rest in Peace Brenda! God has you now in his hands.
