Betty Wade was such a delight. When I hosted the MS Department of Agriculture and Commerce daily program on WAPT in Jackson, she came with her boys to be the guests. They were adorable. We demonstrated making homemade ice cream. They boys were so cute and fully involved……To the Wade family, your parents were such special people. I remember your lovely grandmother, too.
So sorry to hear about Mrs.Wade she was a beautiful spirit Praying for the family.
