So sorry Roger to hear about your mother's passing. Your parents were what is termed as "good people". Knowing that we all will pass from this life someday doesn't make it easier or help us miss them less, but knowing that we will be reunited someday should help with the loss. Sympathy from your friends the Galbraith's Bob and Aletha.

What a precious lady! I will miss her and always cherish fond memories of her and Gentle Ben, when I was associated with the singing group "The Gospel Echoes" and we'd practice up at their house. She always had some good peanut butter cookies, pie or cake that she made sure I always got "seconds" on. She was so sweet and loving.

My deepest confidences for our loss of a very special lady. Albia was a very wonderful, thoughtful , Christian woman. She loved her family. She never met a stranger as anyone she met became family immediately with the offer of a meal and a friendly visit. Albia has been looking to be with the Lord and Ben for 7 years now she is there without a doubt. We will see her again with that precious smile and a hug. RIP. God. Bless all her family and friends.

Roger, Karen, Boyd, and families: So sorry to hear of Aunt Albia's passing. It's heaven's gain and our loss. She missed Uncle Ben so much after his death--they always seemed nearly inseparable. We had such good times visiting with them and I loved having them for an Aunt and Uncle when my Mother (and our family) became part of your family. All of Garland's siblings, including wives and husbands, accepted us and we loved them all. Wishing we could attend her funeral service and see everyone, but we don't make it back to Arkansas as easily as we used to. Just know you have our sincerest sympathy. We love you all. -- Juanema & Wendell
