    I've always thought a lot of Wavel. We used to see her a lot when we went to Clover Hill Baptist Church years ago. So sorry we can't make it to her funeral since we are still out of state. My condolences.

    Mrs. Lunsford always had a smile on her face and something positive to say. I always enjoyed talking to her and will miss her so much. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
