My first funeral job was mowing grass at funeral homes. ... I needed gas money. I got to drive around in a hearse. I wasn't afraid.

You look out some afternoon and there's Tom out mowing the grass, or he's rolling the infield, or just raking up some stuff. And I know he does the same thing for the softball program.

I drive a 1974 Cadillac hearse and it seemed liked the ultimate accessory for my car.

I'd spend more money on gas to drive (to Wal-Mart) than I would save (in fees).

Anyone can find Vanessa around Andalusia planting trees, shrubs and flowers. She is always picking up limbs or mowing grass. No matter what the job is, Vanessa is always smiling and waving to everyone as they pass by her.

Everybody wants to use that hearse,
