Angels in Heaven will rejoice on the arrival of this Sweet lady. I spent so much time with this lovely lady when she was a teenager and her and Aunt Vera took care of my sister Louise and me. Lots of good stories, all with love. Lord watch over this jewel of a woman. Wish I could have spent more time with her.
Love, Roger & Nell

What a beautiful person she was inside and out! Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. We will miss her so very much!
For 35 years she was like a second mom to me. She allowed me to be part of her family sometimes saying that I was like a daughter to her. I already miss her so much but I know she is dancing on those streets of gold with Johnny and Howard. How can I be sad about that? She managed to raise some wonderful boys and acquired some beautiful daughter-in-laws that she loved very much! I know her grandchildren were very special to her because every time we talked about them, that cute little smile would come across her face. I will miss holding her hand, in the lobby after the Sunday morning church service and talking to her about how her week went. Kenny, Andy, Jeff & Marty, what a great mom you had, she was so proud of all of you. I am sorry we have to let her go but we will meet up with her again. Much love to you all!
My prayers are with the family at this hard time. She is in a place where there is no pain. I know Dad welcomed her in and will take care of her. Love Kimberly Banks and family.
What a beautiful lady. Our lives were made better for knowing her. Our loss is Heaven’s gain.
What a wonderful homecoming to see those who had gone before. But, most of all to see HIM whom she has loved and served for many years.
Kenny, Andy, Jeff, Marty and families,
So many memories…From her beautiful white hair and smile and sweet memories, I will always feel blessed to have had her in my life. One of my favorite memories was caputed in pictures we made at the park with Grandma Rogers, Aunt Vi, Tara and Jeff. Seeing her going down the slide brought a definite smile to my face.
Sharing in your loss.
