I remember many times throughout the year seeing you and your family hunting, fishing, camping, or just stopping by to say hi. You were alway so sweet and kind. I will definitely miss your amazing cooking and gorgeous smile. You were definitely a Jewel in so many ways. I know you are probably with Uncle Irvin and my Dad Glenn McCumpsey fishing somewhere enjoying the outdoors. We love you from Elizabeth and Glennabell McCumpsey.
