I send my sincere condolances and heart-felt sympthanies to the family of Alice Milligan Deaton. I have known her most of my life and really got to know her when Preston started getting sick! We would take my mom (Nora Deaton) to visit them in their home, and we visited Gassie and Pearl also. Aclice to me was a very loving and caring Lady. She always made everyone feel welcomed!! I enjoyed spending time with her at the Deaton Reunions! She always had a smile on her face that comforted people. I know she will be missed by all who knew her! Especially her daughters and step- children. We will keep you all in our hearts and prayers! I am going to try and come today but if not know you all will be in my heart and prayers! Much Love, Patricia ” Pat” Deaton Davis
