Christian love and sympathy is extended to the Katie Jo Walton Boone family of Grenada. Katie was born and raised in Tillatoba and was a graduate of Oakland High School.
Christian love and sympathy is also extended to the family of another former Tillatoba resident, JA Hoop, of Grenada who passed away Monday morning, June 3. JA was also a graduate of Oakland High School and a classmate of Katie Jo. My love goes out to Joe Boone and to Mary Ann Hoop.
