To mom's friends for 40+ years, Neva & Whitey Marcum, whom she loved so much, we are so thankful for all the happiness you brought to her. And to Helen Clay & Freda's "2nd son" Richard Clay, mom loved you also.
Mom was always there for us kids & grandkids. She made holidays and cookouts very special for all of us. Especially Christmas, that was her most favorite time of year. Which in turn inspired her Christmas in July parties that she loved so much. Words cannot express her love for us, especially the grandchildren, and her 2 special little dogs, Sugar and Rugrat, who brought so much happiness to her. She would take them for walks in their puppy strollers and dress them up so pretty. She will be missed by anyone who knew her; she was a very special mom, grandma, & friend. Our hearts are broken as we say Goodnight Mom, We Love You.
