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.
