I had the wonderful opportunity of knowing "Nanny" for the last 22 years. She was a great lady, of whom I loved dearly and will miss terribly. Rest with God "young Lady".

I was just getting to know your mother. I could tell right away that she was a woman with a strong and vivacious spirit. I wish I had more time to get to know her. I am sorry for your loss. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Steve & Kim, Robert Glenn, I always liked my "Aunt Audie". I don't recall one time when she was not full of life & love for us on our weekend visits as children. Peace be with you. Maurine, thanks for being a great aunt, you did well.

Kim, Steven, & Robert Glenn,
When my mother passed in 2000 your mother told me that I would not be without parents and she would be my "Texas Mom." She lived up to that role and more. Your mom had enough love for all of you and then some. She will really be missed! I love you guys and I will try to be there for you on Thursday.

Thanks, Kim/Family, for sharing your mom's pics. What a sweetie! In the background of several, you see an arid Texas landscape, but your mom, you, your family each show us genuine warmth, love and vitality! Blessings, dear friend.

I wish I could ease the pain in some small way, but just knowing there are many many people who care I hope some how makes it better.

Kim, I know that there are no words that can ease the loss you have suffered. Hopefully, knowing that your friends are here, and lifting you and your family in prayer will comfort you during this time and in days to come. It's hard to go through this now, and in the days to come, when you need to grieve, know that you have so many of us who will be here for you. Much love and blessings.
