Larane, Jeff, and Eddy, a sad time for sure in the loss of such a sweet, loving and young spirited lady. I have so many great memories of times I spent with your family over the past 60 years. She was like a second mom to me. She lived a great life and I'm sure she is looking down from heaven. Love, Linda (Heston) Taylor

Meme truly was such a joy to be around. She always put a huge smile on my face when I saw her. I feel fortunate to have known her. Larane, Eddy, Jeff and the rest of the family; you are in my thoughts. I hope that all of the good memories with Meme will get you through this time of sorrow. She will be missed, but never forgotten.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. As time passes may you find peace in the memories you share, and comfort from the hope that God is close to the broken-hearted.
