What a beautiful lady. She had a great sense of humor too. Every year we would come to Daytona for the 500 and the 400, we always came to the office to visit her and bring her some carolina peaches or an apple cake. She was friends with my aunt Eloise Hawkins. One day Eloise, Joe, and Juanita came to my grandmother's house and they went to pick some peaches and my Mom was there too.
Every time we visited lightnin we always talked about that moment and she remembered it well..
We love you lightnin!!! We miss you ❤
