Fonda, I love and miss you so much. I was so proud to be your sister in law and so excited to reconnect with you after 20+ years apart. Thank you for loving my brother like you did. I will always remember you 2 together and the impact you left with me as a child and a teenager. Thank you for always having something lovely to say to me and to Nathan. Your kind spirit made such an impression on him when we all got to spend time together before our wedding. I look forward to the day we reconnect once again - this time in heaven where we can sit on a porch, sip sweet tea, and talk about flamingos and Elvis. I love you always.

I was so sad to hear of Fonda’s passing. We were good friends many years ago when we had our babies at the same time. I loved her. She was always laughing and fun to be with. My son in law passed with COVID last week. I hate COVID.

My granddaughter and I always searched Fonda out when we went to Walmart. I was her “over $100.00 shopper”” then we would have a good laugh. We would share our jellies that we made with each other. We love and will miss Fonda very much.

Brian,
I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I just loved her to pieces. She always had a smile and was friendly to all. I don't ever remember seeing her mad at anyone. I won't ever forget our years of playing softball while you and all of the kids ran around all day. Prayers for you, and all of your family.
