What a wonderful grandmother I had!!! I miss her so much and will never forget all that she did for me. I remember all the times I used to stay with her when I didn't want to go somewhere with Mom and Dad. And all the times I used to beg Mom to let me skip school to stay with her during her many trips to the hospital. The one thing she loved to do was play cards. So, anytime I stayed with her we would break out the deck of cards and she would beat me at rummy! I'll never forget all the christmas parties throughout the year, and how no matter what, she always bought all the kids something. I remember one time sneaking in her back bedroom and seeing wall to wall presents, wondering which one was mine! I have so many wonderful memories and will hold on to them forever!!
It broke my heart when I received the call from Mom Friday night, and I wondered if I would make it to the hospital to see her alive one last time. Unfortunatly I was too late. But I will never forget the way she looked as Mom and I walked into the chapel on Monday. It is so wonderful to know that she is in a place more beautiful than we can comprehend, and that she ran down those streets of gold to see Jesus. What a comfort that is to me today.
Thank you to all who helped our family make it through this past weekend. It would have been much more difficult without your love and support. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives, and mamaw knew that too!

indeed she was one of a kind...i dont think i ever heard her say a bad thing about anyone..she will be greatly missed,but she has made her journey..now we have to make ours. i dont know if you saw little jacob...but at the funeral home..he realized what was going on and just fell apart and bubba had to take him out to explain things..jacob now knows what death is...but he also knows its ok to cry and its ok to be sad. but she's with Jesus now.
Stacy - We could never tell how much MaMaw ment to us. We truely count it an honor and a priviledge to have been a part of her family for so many years. She will be missed, but her loving memory will last forever. I am so thankful that Kevin, Justin, Meaghan and I had a loving MaMaw like her for so many years!
