Condolences to the Carter/Case/Johnson family of Waco, TX area on the passing of my Aunt Alma, their grandmother. We have many fond memories of Aunt Alma. She will be missed, but rest assured that she’s up in Heaven, walking the streets of gold with Joann and Theresa.
I worked for Miss Alma as a teeanger at Carter’s Nursery. I loved and still love working with plants and she was a major part of my love for gardening. My condolences to the family.
