To the Waller Family,
Feel Blessed to know that "Grandma Daisy" has gone on to be with the Lord. She has lived a long and glorious life and will be missed by all. She was truly a blessing to all of us that grew up in the "bottom". Always making you feel at home or like one of her own; she would answer to Grandma regardless of who called her or if you were related or not. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this time. She has lived longer than most could ever imagine and with a loving family it only made her days brighter. Find comfort in knowing that she is resting peacefully.

Back when Second Buffalo Baptist was on a dirt road, we used to sing a song that said "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal" may these words bring comfort to the family.

Grandma Daisy,will be truly missed my me...I can still hear that unique laugh that she had. She was not only my grandma,she was my mom for many years when my
when my parents had to work,so a lot of my values
came from her. Grandma touched the lives of so many
people. She was affectionately known in Halifax County
and Brookneal as everybody's Aunt Daisy or Grandma.
There was never a dull moment in her house because she
always had somebody's child there and they loved her even though she could be stern. She called all of her
grandchildren "baby girl or baby boy and I think that was
because there was so many of us and she didn't want to
call us by the the wrong name...but, back then we didn't
know any better we thought it meant we were special :]
I guess thats what drew people to her...she made you
feel special....As I sit here typing I can hear her singing
"This little light of mine I'm gonna let it Shine",Let it shine
Let it Shine ,Let it Shine..." Grandma "Daisy",you'll always
be my flower! ....
