Mamaw will be missed dearly, just know that she is pain free and reunited with all who left us way to early. I have so many fond memories of Mamaw, she was such a dear, sweet lady that will always be missed by many. My fondest memory is that she made lunch for me and Keith almost everyday when we were in school and he lived with her and Papaw Red,( and yes her fried chicken was the best). I love you all and praying that God will comfort you all. Tammy
