Thanks David for letting us know. Our prayers are with the family.
She was a real nice lady. I escorted her when Maurice was inducted into the Hall Of Fame. And the first thing I would ask Maurice, when we talked, how is mom.

I had the pleasure of meeting her a few years ago at a lesson with Reese. You would have thought she had know me all her life. Prayers sent to the Anderson family.

Mrs Anderson was a remarkable lady. She was still driving her car well into her 90's. She came and sat with my wife a couple of times when we attended the Johnny High Show in Arlington. A lovely lady who raised her family to be strong Christians. RIP.

Jerry, I did not know that your mother was still alive when Reese died. That had to be tough for her. I know how close they were.
My prayer are with you and the rest of the family.
