Cousin Isabel was a delightful person. I always enjoyed visiting with she and Doug when we would visit Fort Mill. My dad, Billy Nims was her cousin. My deepest sympathy to the family. Cecilia Nims Hempen, Joplin MO
My deepest condolences to the family. Mrs. Elms was a good friend to my mother (the late Mary Barber). Those two ladies shared great times together. Mrs. Elms was a very sweet spirit and I believe God smiled when she walked into the gates of heaven. mourn but not long for her work for God is now finished. Cynthia Barber Hunt and the Barber Family.
