What a wonderful woman. She was my husband's Sunday School Teacher years ago at Blandford. And learned so many things from her.

We are lucky to have known such a kind person. She and her sister, Jessie have become a part of our family and think the world of them both. We will greatly miss her.

Dear Debby and Bubba,

You have lost your dear mom, and I have lost the nicest Aunt anyone could have. She was sweet and loving and generous to me for 57 years, ever since the day I was born.

We had, as you know, many things in commmon--a love of birds and flowers, recipe-collecting, gardening, and walking on the beach. I will miss her warm smile and great laugh (she even laughed at my husband Danny's bad jokes!).

I am glad that, for many years, your mom enjoyed good health and that she and my mom took some wonderful trips together.

Please know that D. and I are thinking of your whole family and wishing you comfort and peace.

Love,
Patsy
