Our sympathy and prayers are extended to the family. One summer Dorothy Jean and I worked at Capps Clothing in Jacksonville. We had a good time, even when our ride did not come and we started walking home. Dorothy helped me a couple years in Bible School assisting with the crafts. She was a major help to me. We had some good times and I know that you all will miss her dearly. God bless you all.
No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. — C.S. Lewis I'm sure we will all read quotes like these that seem to speak directly to us right now. They do speak to us. Gramma would have loved that books, some of her favorite friends, would speak to us of her. But, while these things comfort us, I don't think they are the things that she would best want us to read. Let's think of her, throw our sadness to the wind, and remember just how FUN life is, and was, to her. Let's think of other quotes. Let's send her happy thoughts to give her wings, and not tears to weight her down. Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened. ~Dr. Suess

To the entire family, please know that I add my prayers and thoughts to those of others. Words alone are never enough; I pray that the Lord will give you His peace and comfort.
Joe, Glenda, Ruby and families, You are all in my thoughts and prayers. The video tribute was very lovely and touching. Alway know that you all will be in my thoughts and prays through the years to come.
Grandma I will always remember our Christmas's together and baking for the whole family and making a sculpture together not to mention when I would come up with some wacky plan and you would throw up your arm and be like NO. Ashley. I remember the time I was at your home with Tabby and I wanted ravolis so so badly so I complained and complained when Bobbby showed up and you made him go buy me some. I LOVE YOU!
I still miss you. It's not the same without your hugs or kisses on the cheek. I've got my GED and I'm ready for college but it's a lot harder, and scarier without you.
