Mamaw, I don’t quite have the words to say what you meant to me. You were the absolute rock of our family and I just don’t know how we’ll ever be quite the same. I know you’re at peace and finally no longer hurting, and I know you’re having such a sweet reunion with my momma. I miss you both more than I will ever be able to put into words. I’m looking forward to the day I’ll see you both again â¤ï¸

Uncle Norman, Steve and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss and share in your sorrow. Aunt Jean was such a special lady and will be so missed. She was extremely talented--piano, painting, sewing and the best chocolate and coconut cream pie maker in the world! I loved sitting with her and Uncle Norman on the front porch of their house for an afternoon visit. I loved her dearly and will treasure the wonderful memories I have of her. Love and prayers for you all.

My favorite story I heard while growing up was the story of how Mom and her cousin Jean met their future husbands. Mom and Jean went to the skating rink in Melbourne and saw dad and his cousin Norman across the room, mom pointed to dad and said I’m going to marry him. Jean pointed to Norman and said well I’m going to marry him! My prayers and thoughts are with you.
